Hi folks,
If one had a light sport license, and wanted to move onto "more nimble" aircraft, what is involved in upgrading to PPL?
How many hours can be carried forward, and do all exams have to be re-written?
If one has good stick and rudder control on an LSA aircraft, how different could, say, a Cessna be?

Define more nimble. 150kts is "quiet" nimble.
Convex is piss and Spam Can is not harder to fly, just different.

It's not the "nimble" 150kts, but rather the clean stall speed.
