I'm wondering what the qualifications are for the pilot or owner to conduct this business? Is the sport pilot license required under the FAR103 if the ppc is under 254 lbs empty weight?

I recommend Carol and Brian Carpenter with Rainbow Aviation Services. They offer the 16-hour and 120-hour repairman courses. Their web site is www.rainbowaviation.com.

After getting signed off for this aircraft, I would like to attend the 16 hour course so I can perform my own 100 hour inspections. I live in Allen, Texas and am having difficulty finding where I can get this training. Any suggestions?

I don't know much about bungee jumping, so I can't make a comparison. Wish you and your boys all the best, and a speedy resolution.
