Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Summay of new SP rule changes

Hi Richard,
I think the sets are gone but now you have
"The agency maintains the proposed endorsement to operate an aircraft with a VH less than or equal to 87 knots CAS is justified and is adopting this change"

The keyword being "aircraft" now not airplane. I will confirm this but this means trikes like P&M Quik, QuikR and our (Evolution Trikes) Revo that can reach 100 knots straight and level will require an endorsement. Will know more definite things later. This is suggested in the summary as well by Paul Hamilton.
