There sure are a bunch of retardlings posting comments on that thread.  Btw, the misleading $340 bit refers to a sport pilot info kit or something, not the certificate & training.

It's a Sports Pilot's License.  Meant only for flying "sport" planes.

No, it does include the "sport" certificate and training.

From the "linky"  

"Training runs between $2,800 to $3,500, half the price of a private pilot license, and most flight schools offer two ways to get the license. Students can learn at their own pace, over a matter of weeks, or enroll in an intensive program where students fly at least twice a day and receive the license in two weeks. It makes for a great adventure vacation."
