Hello
Not taking it personally
If we are talking about Light Sport there is only one specification you must meet in regards to cruise to be legal How the manufacturer sets the method is up to them You cant go and up the gross just because you feel like it Some pitch the prop to suit the engine manufacturers maximum continuous revs Others make a mark on the tach or ASI Its unlikely they will go fast enought to upset anyone Its simply too hard to prove Its far easier to check the plane out for an illegal prop if you are running way too fast
Simply fly to the manufacturers spec and you are legal

Obviously your taking this a bit personal...
I understand it fully, I understand "Standard conditions" and that's is what I
talked about.
I understand cruise setting, except in your mind, means something totally
different than Maximum continuous power. Which is why I made the comment about
it being illegal to set the plane up so as cruise (I am talking about Standard
conditions here as was posted in the original post I responded too) is equal
to 120Kt... It is...
