Marty, I understood what you were asking from the begining. When they added sport pilot to the regulations they had to change or modify many more regulations. After a while they came in and fixed a few more that needed tweeking. The problem like I said before is just adding sport pilot to the existing regulation would allow them to work on aircraft they owned, but couldn't legally fly. After thinking about this some more I think you should ask for a language change in 43.3,(g) from, "and issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category", to an aircraft "that meets the CFR1.1 definition of a light sport aircraft"
