Why does a ramp check scare you? Normally they just ask to see your license and aircraft registration/paperwork. No big deal. Visual inspection of the plane from the outside only as they are not supposed to be able to enter your plane. The odds of it happening are a million to one.

KR> LSA Operation
My hangar partner has a Pulsar XP with a 80 hp Rotex engine. With only him onboard he cruises at 141 Kts and 4600 RPM. He found that the plane will cruise at 120 Kts with 4200 RPM. He wrote a letter to the Washington FSDO (the local FAA cognizant office) reporting those parameters and stated his LSA intentions. He wanted to operate the aircraft as a LSA and not renew his medical. He never got a reply to his letter for several months. So, he called the FSDO; they said his letter was on file and not to expect any reply. The inspector also told him that the aircraft is registered as experimental and he could make any declaration regarding the aircraft. He made no aircraft log book entry and did not install any placards regarding the LSA operation. After operating for four years without a medical, he has had one ramp check without any further problem. Your results may vary. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA

I have a friend that had an accident with his maule in Alaska. He has not had a physical for eight years. Can't pass one. Told the FAA he has been flying light sport. They explained to him the maule was not light sport. (Like he didn't know.)When everything was settled they gave him a 30 day suspension. Unless you do something that hurts somebody else they really don't do much.
