Can they not be registered and certified as E-AB? I know of no RV's that can't be certified E-AB. Can't you build your Skyranger and certify it E-AB? Why is that not an option? Maybe I'm confused....

You know, I haven't looked at the site you mention but I bet I know
where the confusion lies. A factory cannot produce ELSAs until they
have built at least one SLSA of the same model. I bet because of that
the site is just listing them as SLSAs.

Yup, That's one source of confusion.
I regret I overstated in my post saying no more ELSA's can be built.
There are certain perfectly good ELSA's that can no longer be built and certified.
Because the factory is either unwilling or unable to go through the rather expensive and time consuming process of building and certifying one SLSA of that model.
Case in point: My Skyranger.
Case in point: My Skyranger.
They're being built and flown in UK, Australia and Europe.
But you can't go out and buy a kit now in the USA and build and get one certified here because of that "first someone has to build and certify one SLSA of that model" here.
I believe for that same reason certain perfectly good models or RV's can't be built and certified anymore.
I could be wrong about that one.
