Hello
it is likely to be ruled out as not to the intent of the category Counter rotation and 2 propellers are both a weight penalty as well as mechanically complex Any small gain is countered by additional weight cost and complexity The same applies to a variable speed drive I took a long time to get retractable undercarriage allowed on seaplanes and that had a practicality and safety driver

Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group LSA Rule Question
The LSA requirements state, "single engine and fixed pitch or ground adjustable propeller." Does the use of the singular term, "propeller," limit a builder to only one?
Does anyone have an opinion, or better yet, an official ruling on the use of one engine and two propellers either in the contra-rotating or or separate configuration like the Wright Brothers Flyer?
