I m wondering just how far a Coupe at 1232 lb. and 13° up travel (20° up travel with the split elevator) comes to qualifying as a LSA under the NPRM s guidelines. Here s a challenge for you to try when you are out flying.

Who rolled a Boeign 707 over the Seattle Hydroplane races in front
Of God, the FAA, his boss and the spectators (previous list not
necessarily in order of Power)
I have heard, Ed, that the Ercoupe stall speed was placed in the manuals
because "we need one of those," and has not really been verified. Yeah,
you're not the only one who wishes they'd forget about those 28 pounds
and let us stay in the air in one of the mosr forgiving planes ever designed.
