				Fellow RVers:
 
 I hate to tell you this but the AOPA has already been there, only they
 petitioned to get rid of the medical requirement for private pilots (ie.
 Third class medical certificate would be no more).  This was about 10-12
 years ago and they almost succeeded.  The FAA had the new rule up for
 comment and they actually were going implement it.  Only problem
 was....comments from concerned citizens who were worried about pilots
 falling out of the sky on them.  That was enough to kill the new rule and it
 was put on indefinite hold.  So.....it's a nobel effort and I'm all for it
 but.....being society is getting more risk averse, not less and the
 government is getting more controlling, not less...I wouldn't hold my breath
 waiting for it to happen. It's worth a try though.

 FellowRV'ers:
 
 Dave Wartofsky,my local airport owner has put up a petition to allow
 for flying aircraft with max gross less than 6000 lbs with a drivers
 license as a medical.  Think of light sport without all the slow and
 light.  This would include all RV's.
