FWIW,

I'm building my Rebel for LSA but I wondered about eventual resale to
someone who wants the higher gross so I asked the EAA and the FAA at Sun N
Fun and of course got two different answers. The guys at EAA insist that
you
can't up the weight later but the FAA said its no problem. I specifically
asked about upping the weight with (re-engine) and without physical changes
and the FAA was emphatic that its just paperwork either way. Will the next
Fed you ask give a different answer? Who knows.

thank you personally for the beer. and I promise to drink more next year.

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.
