My hangar mate is doing just as a couple of proposed here. He and his dad completed a Sonex with 3300 Jabaru last summer and licensed it as E-AB. He flies it as a private pilot. His dad got his Light Sport License after they completed their plane and now flies it as a light sport. The only heada

DJ, Yes, you understand it completely. Registering it as an LSA would have limited the airplane, not the pilot. If I chose to let my medical lapse, I can continue to fly it. Best of all worlds. Thanks, Rob In a message dated 4/17/2012 6:52:20 P.M. Central Daylight Time, d...@deej.net wr

Folks, my belief is that one can fly as a Sport Pilot if the airplane meets the speed and weight limitations. The POH is different for each homebuilt. Athe builder writes the POH. If the GRoss weight is limited to 1320 lbs and the observed stall meets the criteria, the builder can limit cont

Glenn, My airplane N1852Z meets LSA. However, it is licensed as an E-AB and I recommend any builder register it that way anyway. Reason is you don't know the performance numbers until you test it in Phase I. My KR2S is slow but built light and uses the RAF 48 airfoil. Stall speed was 50 mph wh
