Yes to both. I have a 415C with metal wings and a C-90 engine. You
can put in the 0-200 crank
and not affect the LSA criteria. The metal wings do add some weight
and that is why many (not
including me) prefer the fabric wings.

I am new to the group and looking at Ercoupe's to buy. I want an
LSA. I have two questions about mods. (1) Do metal wings on a 415C,
indicate it is no longer an LSA, or another way to ask the
question, can you metalize the wings without driving a 415C out of
the LSA category? (2) Can you modify a 415C to get a 90 or 100 HP
engine and still qualify as an LSA? I am obviously new to
Ercoupe's, any help is greatly appreciated.
