Boon-
I had the same question.

I think the writers ( or the manufacturers of the aircraft)of those articles mentioned in the succeeding posts are not up on the def of LSA aircraft. At this point the Chinese Yuneec (pronounced "Unique") E430 is a factory aircraft and not even EAB. One report however (AvWeb) indicates the FAA is behind the curve. I'd agree...
