Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Older planes qualifying for light sport?

I want to chime in here.....supercharging or turbo normalizing can give you better performance in higher thin air by maintaining sea level power.

Micro vortex generators can lower stall speed. Spotted power flaps further lower stall speed.

Leading edge droops improve stability and...


All these can make a plane have a much bigger envelope.

Of course....nthe entire purpose of the LSA category is really, low, slow and short distance.

With the standard wing the stall speed is only 1 mph too high. I don't have
the rules in front of me but if the definition is in knots like some quote ie
45 kt then it's only .25 mph ;-)
The Diehl wing is slightly longer (about a foot actually) so would most like
stall a little slower...
I think it would qualify if build properly and the right gross weight
specified.
