Well, Mike, firstly I hope you read and understand what is asked of you. 

You gotta get your bird up and registered and all the paper work finished, 

including inspection.  Next you gotta find out if you are qualified under 

the grandfather rule.  If not, you gonna have a lot of training to do.  We 

have two expert SLA trainers available.  One North of  Tallahassee, Ga which 

is a fair piece from here and another in Enterprise, Al, about a hundred 

plus from my place.  Both are also examiners to give you your ticket 

testing.  You cannot used the same one for both unless you get the last five 

hours (I think) might be three, from a different trainer.  They dont want 

the examiner to cheat I guess.  If you are certified to take your test and 

exams through the grandfather part, you can find the info about the 

examiners on our web site:  www.homestead.com/southernflyers   and go to the 

sport pilot section.  I went and stayed at a best western for a couple of 

days, 35 miles away from the airport.  Got some intro time on the amphib 

(which is a tail dragger.  One of the reasons I picked that one)  and a 

couple of hours of ground school to find out what I did not know about it. 

I have never had any formal training and needed some refinement.  Mr Cooper 

is a very fair and encouraging guy willing and able to assist you with the 

wealth of knowledge stored in his 78 year old head.  Hope I am going strong 

like that when I am his age.  I did not use my SlingShot for the test for 

obvious reasons.  I do not feel doing some of the tests, stalls and such so 

heavily laden was a good idea safety wise so I hired his plane.  Worked well 

and am not sorry.  I have checked into the CD package and I would go to the 

package offered through the store on the USUA site.  $200 is not a lot 

considering it could save you at least half that in hotel bills not to 

mention fill in the blanks and hopefully keep you from that dreaded word 

"failed". Most of what I have written and the reasoning behind it is to get 

you all to the examiner and releave you of the FEAR.  Hope this helps.  If 

you want further info contact me off line at my email box.  Ted Cowan.

Ted



   I did a ball park cost estimate based on the EAA  sport pilot site and

came up with abt 2500 to 3000 dollars to get  one of my UL"s  inspected

by a DAR and the cost of ground school and several hours of flight

training..   That about right??   Herb

Possibly low if your state imposes a sales or use tax on a/c registrations,

especially if they pop you for a late penalty.
