We used to have the 1000# slop to cover this, but no more. In the end though, why would you need to know the actual regs wording? Common sense dictates the call. You changed the condition of the original release by returning. CYA at a minimum.

The tandem RV's are not suitable for instruction due to the lack of rear seat brakes. You will need a side by side which means a RV6/7/9. Maintenance is much lower since you can do it yourself and there is almost always local RV guys who love helping out. Experimental parts are often a fraction of price of certified parts!
Jet Airplanes!
Anything slower, with a propeller, just gives the student more time to reconsider his choices. You don't have time to think up there, you think... YOU're Dead!
That being said, if you start in a tail wheel airplane, you WILL be a better pilot in the end.
Put a tail wheel on a T38, I'm in!

Will the new ADS-B rules have any effect on these smaller airplanes such as the 150/152 or RVs, etc?

If all your flying is in rural areas away from larger airports, you don't.

ADS-B is the "internet" of the skies so it kinda makes sense and drones and deconfliction with manned aircraft is driving this...
Google targets low-cost ADS-B Out avionics market - 3/24/2015 - Flight Global
