Thank you Graeme.  In order that my future replies do not add too 

much to the total Kitfox List volume, I will be replying to most off 

line.  The list members are really a caring bunch and I know many 

will have good wishes to express.  I do really appreciate the 

thoughts.  I will keep everyone informed as to my progress.  Although 

I am really feeling rocky just now.  It will pass in a few more days 

as it has after my first two chemo treatments.  With this I am 3/4 

done with chemo.  With my PSA down to 0.28 after the first two, I am 

already a big winner.  For me, the cancer has never produced a single 

pain or physical symptom of any kind.  It is only the treatments that 

have done that.



I can say this after 11 years of living with prostate cancer and the 

treatments have also allowed that, too.  So do get checked for PSA 

and do get treatment if cancer is found.



Thanks to all of you for thinking about me.

Hi Jim, thanks for sharing your battle with cancer with us. I wish 

you all the best and hope the positive results you are getting 

continue through to your recovery. I had a bad experience that I 

shared with the list members and to be honest it was great to know 

so much support and concern for my well being was there. Please keep 

us informed of your progress.



Kind Regards

Graeme

I will not be registering it as an ELSA.  I will simply own an experimental aircraft which with its current equipment and owner established gross weight of 1320 lbs. meet the LSA standard.  Many currently certificated aircraft are not registered as ELSA but can be flown by pilots who meet the LSA requirements.  You are correct in not being able to change an aircraft into a ELSA.  You just do not need to.  You can keep it as an experimental and fly it as an LSA.  It remains a touchy area and the FAA inspector will only change my gross weight because I will be installing a very different lighter engine package that certainly in unsuitable for my current 1650 lbs.  



 It is not completely win/win because I did like my Turbo CAP package.  It is a hard decision.  At my age I suspect it entails more complexity than is wise for me as a low time pilot.

 Here's my point:  It is my understanding that the light sport plane rules don't allow an aircraft that has been operated with an adjustable prop to be "downgraded" to a LSA, even if the prop is replaced with a fixed pitch one.  (Do I have it right?)

Fred,

You may be right today, but if I apply for a new medical and am 

turned down, it is all over.  Also, If they put special restrictions 

or requirements on me, that will also be the game for me from then 

on.  I am taking a lowest level diuretic to control high blood 

pressure.  This after I narrowly passed my medical two years ago.  My 

AME suggested I see my regular MD regarding this.  He also told me to 

bring a current EKG in if I did take a medication when I next applied 

for a pilot's medical.  I just don't want to deal with the issue in 

the future.



As I expressed previously,  a side of me will miss the Turbo CAP, but 

it is a bit of complexity for a 70 year old guy.



Jim

		  Jim,

I think you're possibly making a decision regarding FAA requiremints 

with too little information. I'm a 60 y/o semi-retired physician and 

have dealt with the FAA and cancer twice in the last 12 years -cured 

of both testiculat and prostate cancer.

The hoops I went thru 12 years ago (1st ca surgery) are gone. All I 

needed last year (prostate ca) was a knowledgable AME and I was able 

to get the approval 3 months after my surgery on the same day I 

visited the AME. A friend got his medical approved (cardiac stent) 

by phone with the FAA with instructions on where to mail the 

appropriate medical records.

The FAA has truly streamlined the process, particularly for the more 

common serious maladies such as prostate ca where success can be 

determined by psa levels. I'd give the FAA a shot before doing 

something too radical with my 'Fox

Contact me off line if you need more info. Good luck with your 

treatment program.

Fred

(Note:  I am now sending this to the Kitfox list as when sent 

directly, it was bounced back to me as as spam.  That hurts.)



Thanks for the thoughts and the links.  I will keep them for future 

use and reference.  I sure hope I don't need more treatments.
