I disagree about limiting Sportsman to smaller planes. There are guys who will never progress past this point and to tell them they can't buy and fly the biggest and baddest of the planes will only drive them out of the arena. I know we all know carear Sportsman pilots who are having a blast where they are. On top of that, where are you going to get a decent 60 size engine these days? Neither YS nor OS make pumped 60's anymore. Would you allow 90 4 strokes?

Plus, anyone who's interested in pattern would have to buy their Sportsman equitment, then they would have to buy and build a whole new plane just to move up.
