When I first got my private, I became friends with a guy in a similar situation. We flew almost every day for probably 300 hours! Made a great friend with him In that 150, and I don't think he missed much not being able to be PIC..

He has a medically disqualifying condition. That excludes him from light sport, or basic med. It doesn't sound like he wants to continue with this airplane as SIC. He just needs advice on selling it. Doesn't sound like he's going to be able to overcome his medical condition, even though it's not life threatening.

My advice: get some help with finishing phase I (I would help you with that if you were in Cincinnati), take some good pictures; advertise with pictures here, on Barnstormers, TAP, and Controller. Be realistic about the price and it will sell.

I know he said that isn't his ideal situation, but I just wanted to let him know that with the right buddy, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad, maybe even enjoyable!

yes, lots of limitations on payload and range, but once you're 'back in the saddle' you can deal with those as you so choose.

just a thought, hope it might help?
Too late. The few planes that were but this way started from the beginning as LSA eligible. Which means small engines, light climb props to limit speed, spartan interiors, limited instruments and options.
