Anyway, I still get your point, they already reversed their decision so it would be odd for them to deny it at this point, but I'm still rolling the dice. I think I'm going to go for it. I'll update everyone on the outcome.
You have nothing to lose if your last medical was revoked.
You CANNOT do LSA after having an FAA medical denied or revoked.
If you never had an FAA medical, or had one and let it expire, then you can do LSA with just a driver's license.
In your case you'll need to get a new medical. Once you do that, you can fly LSA forever without ever getting another medical, if desired.
