Unfortunately there has to be a cutoff, there has to be rules and regs. Although I absolutely do not agree with them, they are what they are.

I'm sure there was no organized lobbying on specific behalf of the Ercoupe owners for it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ercoupe Technical Discussion (moderated)" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 24, 2004 9:33 AM Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Re: Digest list: Ercoupe Technical Discussion (moderated) > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > > Instead of a logical, reasonable, intelligent answer, we get a pinhead > bureaucratic one. > > > Answer: > > No, it cannot qualify as an LSA because the definition of a light-sport > aircraft, as called out in 14 CFR 1.1, requires that an aircraft be > originally certificated and continuously operated within the LSA definition. > Any aircraft that has been altered so as to fall outside the LSA definition, > regardless of whether or not the alteration is allowed by the type > certificate, will not be eligible for operation by sport pilots, even if > returned to its original specifications.
