Congratulations. And it's not a "Sport's pilot license" That's
an aviator that is owned by an athletic program. You are training to
be a Sport Pilot. You won't be allowed to fly an aircraft that
exceeds
599kg take-off weight (max gross) or be allowed to fly an aircraft
with
a max flat-out cruise speed in excess of 120kts. There are other
significant limitations too.

But it's a start.

I've been a pilot since 1974.

If you can keep a civil tongue in your mouth when you do it,
feel
free to ask any questions you may have. I certainly don't know all
the
answers, but I know where a lot of them are.

If you haven't done it already, may I suggest you consider
membership in the Experimental Aircraft Association. Their new
periodical "Sport Pilot" is a wealth of info for folks in your
category...Not to mention that the new Sport Pilot category wouldn't
exist if not for them...they deserve a lot of thanks and support from
all GENAV pilots.

Well I figured it would get my foot in the door, and it is upgradeable.

You are quite correct and yes, it will. Many of the new "Sport
Pilot" category aircraft will be every-bit as dependeble and useful and
"standard" category for the designed purpose.

Good luck.
