Sorry Jay,
Seems like you got some wrong information. The operating limitations for IFR flight in the SportStar Max IFR are ‘ no known icing and not within 25 miles of a known lightning strike’. I have one here in Allentown. Give me a call if you would like to take it for a test drive. Helen, The back-up gyro in the SportStar is a Mid Continent ‘Life Saver’ gyro with an internal battery.

...and cannot be flown IFR for real because there's an operating limitation
in the POH that prohibits it. They're the folks who claim that no LSA can be
legally flown IFR, even by a rated pilot with a medical. They're wrong.
