USA LSA aircraft

Bob,
The LSA specs do not require any special resistration. All that is required is that the aircraft meet the LSA specs. It can be amateur built or certified. If it is an SLSA (factory completed) there has to be an acceptance by the FAA that it complies with the ASTM standards. Not sure about the ELSA as that is an unattractive option at present to all parties.
As far as I know, any Canadian amateur built that is properly registered and can legally be imported to the USA and registered here can be flown by a Sport Pilot as long as it meets the LSA specs.
