Ralph, It is a mystery and probably changes on an hourly basis (note the intended sarcasim). The FAA issued a list of certified aircraft the meeting the Light Sport Aircraft specifications.
http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/existing_models.p df I am not sure what document they used since there are numerous and conflicting documents for the Ercoupe/Aircoupe. If I had to guess, they used the type certification documents - A-718 and A-787.
