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

I did not see anywhere in the article that the pilot was a SP or that he built or equipped his plane as an LSA. I think there are several versions of the Jab 3300 (if that is what it he used), one of which lives within the LSA specs. So, the writer could be a PP and built the plane for max performance since the LSA rules need not apply to someone flying as a PP (if that is the case). A clue: "I wanted to keep going up as well, but am limited to 10,000 feet without a transponder." from page 4 of the pdf.

Don't think it is really legal. 146 knots showing on the GPS! 170 GS

Light Sport Aircraft can be used for long distances at better than "low
and slow" speeds. Here is another example:
