Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Help me Understand This LSA thing.

You can only use the ground adjustable prop if the prop pitch is set to limit the speed down to LSA standards. If you were "adjust" or set the pitch differently than spec for LSA you would be technically illegal. Same goes with wheel pants and leg fairings. I believe the LSA version requires vortex generators as well to keep the stall speed down.
Otherwise a great plane, quick to build, has great builder assist and all associated seem to be great folks.
My 2 cents
