Is the EAB the same thing as an Experimental Light

Sport?



A regular experimental can only be flown by a

Regularly licensed Private Pilot or better.



A light sport license does NOT permit you to fly ANY

experimental only specifically designated Light Sport

experimental aircraft. 



I also believe that as soon as these fat Ultralights

become Light Sport aircraft, they fall under federal

jurisdiction and hence the laws relating to them are

more severe.



For example: Vandalism to an ultralight is a local

police matter(mis-demeanor), but Vandalism against a

Federally recognized aircraft is a Felony with minimum

MANDATORY jail time.



So if you are have any "problems" you can send these

dummies away for a while.



I saw a lovely DC-3 being restored only to have been

graffittied one morning.....and the culprits when

caught will be living in a prison for at least 5 years

AND will have to save all their spray can money to buy

the DC-3 a new paint job.

Nope, not true.  Any aircraft (experimental or not) that falls within the same envelope as a LSA can be flown by a Sport Pilot.  The Sport Pilot still has restrictions that don't apply to private pilot, such as flying at night, but as long as they stay within the rules for their certificate, and they are flying a plane that falls within the specs of an LSA (and the SPs endorsements), they can fly it.

There are many Experimental Amateur Builts and a few light certified 

aircraft that qualify as light sport and can be flown by someone with a 

light sport license. I have my private license but choose to fly only light 

sport so I don't have to get a 3rd class medical any more. I can at any time 

get a medical if later chose to fly a spam can.
