This just in from AOPA.
There is a petition to replace the 3rd class medical with the drivers license like what has been done successfully with the Light Sport designation.
We all need to add our support comments to the petition.
The proposal would allow folks to fly aircraft under 6000#s by this action, otherwise heaver aircraft will still need the 3rd class.
As all of our RVs are under this weight, every one of us could benefit from this change.
How many posts in the classified have you seen that start with "lost medical, must sell my RVx"
The entire article is here at

And a link to the petition is at http://www.potomac-airfield.com/
As always, thanks
