Including LSA compatible EAB's would make it a lot more useful.

I've been thinking for awhile about getting my SP-CFI. I was looking at an EAB registered Quicksilver at one point in conjunction with that. I could have gotten the plane dirt cheap, but the cost of hangar rent (and unavailability of hangars) at my local field made it unfeasible.

When I was looking at the LODA thing, it looked like they required a lot, including a complete course syllabus, lesson plans, etc. It's a pity one of the former BFI providing groups (USUA, ASC, EAA) doesn't provide that (for a fee, of course) just like they sold the BFI stuff. Of course a CFI who did put such a syllabus together could be the next Gleim for ultralights...
