Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Cruising speed

If he wants to go faster, wouldn't one option to be to find an LSA that is slick enough that it's speed is limited by it's prop, and change the prop to maximize speed past the legal limit? So, which LSA has the fastest inherent airframe design?

If your plane has a Vne higher than 120Kts, you are welcomed to go faster than 120 Kts (in a dive for example).
