I have quoted Title 14, part I on LSA per FAR.
“Light-sport aircraft means an aircraft, other than a helicopter or powered-lift that, since its original certification, has continued to meet the following:”
Note that it has had to continue to meet requirements not just meet them today.

Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group When is an LSA NOT an LSA?
I have been shopping, Ercoupes for one, and have found some different opinions on Standard cert aircraft, qualifying for Sport Pilot use. The original list shows Ercoupes 415C and 415C-D are LSA qualified.
One school of thought maintains that if it has been altered in any way from original, it is no longer a LS. Since most all of these have been upgraded to larger engines and metalized wings, many say that takes them from that category. My own reading seems to say that as long as it is still registered as a C or C-D model, AND does not now exceed the LSA prequisites, it is an LSA. Anybody have any take on this?
