Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group How to Tell if Aircraft is really LSA

You remembered well enough to say you did it "routinely".  You're the first person I have ever met who says they did such a thing routinely, so I am sincerely curious.  I'm also not totally sure about the engine mod you mention.  It may, it may not.  I put big tires on a Taylorcraft and that was done via the 337 route, not experimental.  Airplanes have been highly modified by using 337s.  The Mooney deicing equipment example... were you working for Mooney or independently?  How was the paperwork change to Experimental done?

I am old, cannot remember well. I remember a Mooney we changed while designing some wing deicing equipment though. Lets say I wanted to put an Eggenfellner Subaru engine on an Ercoupe, that would change it to experimental for instance.
