The passion is real. For those that don't know the differences in light sport aircraft-it takes less time and money to get a Sport Pilot License and you don't need the Class III medical that you need for being a Private Pilot. Thus, guys that can't pass a physical can still fly these LSAs. LSAs can't be too fast or carry more that one passenger and has a weight restriction that is low relative to other single engine aircraft. .
