Wow! Nice, concise, clear and definitive. Your contribution certainly has my support (for what little it is worth). For sure, it seems much more clear and less subject to interpretation than what we have had, so far. In Admiration, Dave Winters

"Light-sport aircraft means an aircraft, other than a helicopter or powered-lift that, since its original certification, has continued to meet the following: (1) A maximum takeoff weight of not more than-- (i) 660 pounds (300 kilograms) for lighter-than-air aircraft; (ii) 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms) for aircraft not intended for operation on water" We must be very carefull in our wording, we could shoot some in the foot. I think we should suggest that if the original Airworthiness certificate was never changed to a D or later then FAA regulations were not complied with completely and the original Airworthiness certificate should stand. What are your suggestions? Bill _____ Going green? See the top 12 foods to eat organic. <http://green.msn.com/galleries/photos/photos.aspx?gid=164&ocid=T003MSN5 1N1653A>
