You cannot just call it a Motorglider as tempting as it might be.... there is a definition out there regarding what qualifies... the more stringent being "the maximum weight to wing span squared can not exceed 3.0 kg/m2 (0.62 lb./ft2)".
All details are outlined in Advisory Circular 21.17-2A. Now regarding LSA.... you are the test pilot determining stall speed etc... sounds like a better approach to me. ________________________________ From: Bob Glidden <glid...@ccrtc.com> To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Wed, February 16, 2011 6:27:07 PM Subject: RE: KR> KR2S for sale The FAA also says that we are responsible to self assess ourselves on rather or not we are medically fit to fly rather we qualify for a medical or not, and if you have failed a FAA medical you do not qualify for LSA. I would not want to be on the wrong end of somebody's mishap flying when they should not be. It's my understanding that the FAA say's that your aircraft is what you say it is. If you call it a powered glider you can fly it without a medical. You also can fly at any speed and at night. You do have to have a glider endorsement on your ticket. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
