Colin, I have to comment on your statement--it is worded in a way that could confuse a "KRSport" builder or a Sport Pilot who wants to fly a Pietenpol built several years ago. Experimental certificates for homebuilts are not issued for LSA or E-LSA operations--those are three distinctly different types of certification. Any Experimental that has met the weight, performance, etc. of an LSA at the time of certification and is not at any time modified to go beyond those limits is Sport Pilot eligible. "No more than two seats" is one of the requirements. Dick Hartwig [email protected]
