Ron,
I don't mean to be boorish but I don't want to be associated with
even a remote suggestion of calling what I'm building an LSA.
I am building an "Amateur Built Experimental Aircraft" that will
gross at 1320 lbs. It may be flown under sport pilot rules as it
will meet all the other criteria; it will also be legal for a
qualified pilot with medical to fly at night and above 10,000
feet. It grants me and all those who may own that plane after me the
ability to not only maintain, but modify.
If you persist in calling it an LSA directory, please take me off
your list. LSA also doesn't apply to those building to Canadian
rules. LSA is a very official term that has very specific
meanings. I feel it is risky to adopt official terms as common vernacular.
The "MURPHY LITE" directory kind of sounds like a beer ---- which is
not entirely inappropriate to this list.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LAST CALL for the first edition of the Rebel LSA directory. I've had
several responses to the original suggestion (below) and am about to
compile the list. If you're building a Rebel LSA, or are just interested
in finding out who else is doing it, please send me an off-list direct
email reply by Wednesday, 8/9.
Thanks.

together a list of those who are building Rebels for lightweight LSA
specification, or interested in doing so. I thought I'd repost this with
a new subject line in case some may have missed it under the previous
"OSH Bound" thread subject.
If you're building to amateur built experimental LSA specs, or
interested in doing so, and would like to know who else is on that
track, please send a note to me direct (off list preferred) and I'll
compile a list and send it to those who respond.
