Negative... It doesn't say changes can't be made it says changes that take
it out of the
definition of LSA can't be made even if it is returned to original. Your
example with rudder
pedals doesn't take it out of LSA definition so it is still eligible. Now if
the do the STA
to increase the gross weight to 1400 lbs (or whatever the actual figure)
then it is no
longer forever eligible for LSA.
