Hello  Beech Skipper Maximum take off weight 1675 lbs  Is that a big boned 1320 lbs? http://www.airliners.net/aircraft-data/stats.main?id=64 Peter --- On Mon, 9/13/10, Richard Williams <rkwill@lewiscounty.com> wrote: From: Richard Williams <rkwill@lewiscounty.com> Subject: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Older planes qualifying for light sport? To: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, September 13, 2010, 6:14 AM   Fellow pilots, When I read the indicated list of std cat aircraft that meet the LSA criteria, the first thing I see is a disclaimer that the list is not 'all inclusive' and to contact EAA for a determination of any specific aircraft. So, before I gave up on the Skipper, I would contact EAA for a determination. R.

You can find it at this link as well as a downloadable pdf version. It appears the Skipper does NOT meet the standards.
