Thanks for your comments Mike. I do seem to remember that there was info in the
newsletters on modifying the downlock to make it more secure. How you would
stiffen the crossbar after it is installed I would not be so sure about. Just
looking at the ground stance, it seems to me that the

We were told at OSH that it should be "live" come OSH 2024... If it

UNFORTUNATELY, Mosaic has been in the proposal state since 2018 (probably
earlier - but that was the first FAA announcement that I went to at tripple

The current light sport rules allows one to fly with a valid drivers’ license
or 3d class medical as the fulfillment of the medical requirement. A pilot
needs to hold at least a Sport Pilot license to fly the aircraft. A summary of
current requirements are listed here at AOPA or found in FAR P

Chris,
I do not have any personal knowledge on this specific airplane.
Weight is ok, just a little heavy. The Revmaster is a great engine. The
