And, the FAR's are quite specific that the aircraft as originally certificated must meet, and have always met, the LSA specifications. One cannot reverse changes that caused the aircraft to not meet the LSA specs. You do not recertificate (a word?) a normal category aircraft. If it meets the LSA specs a Sport Pilot may exercise the privileges of Sport Pilot with it. The recent issues of EAA Sport Aviation have some very good Q and A's on the subject.
