RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group The latest EAA Hotline

Whuffo they try to go from CA to HI while hoping for tailwinds??????? Dare
to Dream!! Maybe the Navy will have a carrier 1/2 way that they can stop on?
I notice that all the photos have carefully placed people in front of the
tail number. --Bill Watson bill@sportpilot.info

Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group The latest EAA Hotline

Today, EAA writes about this "around the world trip" being made. The article
is here: http://www.airventure.org/news/2009/090729_sling.html

Can some please explain to me, how a a plane that has an empty weight of 799
lbs, carries two people, and has been modified to carry over "118 gallons of
fuel", can possibly be called an LSA?

Ok ok, its probably not really registered as an LSA, so I'm not sure they
should be referring to it as one.
