Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Getting Smarter and not liking it

I finally got some of my questions answered thru EAA which I have been a member for many decades.
Seems that if I acquire an ELSA or a SLSA, my A&P certificate allows me to do any and all maintenance AND ANNUALS on them, for mine or anybody elses, no further training or requirements. IF however I buy say an old Ercoupe 415C for example that I can FLY as an LSA, I can do all the maintenance, but CANNOT DO ANNUALS. Sort of seems silly really, obviously I know far more about an old Ercoupe than some newly designed LSA. Anyhow, I got tired of paying for annuals, then spending a couple of months straightening out someone elses mistakes on my plane. It has been some years now, I hate to even think what an annual would cost. Looks like an SLSA or ELSA is the only real choice for someone with an A&P License. Not too bad a choice really, given that most of the new LSA planes can outrun an old Ercoupe anyway.
Just thinking out loud.
