Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: LSA Experimental

As long as you originally had it inspected and listed it then as 1320# and
never had it modified above that it is acceptable..
Another example is the Breezy kit which qualifies everything except it is
designed as a 3 person airplane (pilot in front and two seat passenger
behind). You can build it as a two person plane, IE pilot in front and only
one passenger seat behind and register it that way and it would be legal...
