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



Yes...and like I still say ... that is slow in my opinion.......IMO.

150Kias respectable.

200 KIAS is quick.

250kias is fast

300kias is smokin for GA.

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:

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.

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



Hello
Its no biggie Load it to gross and fly it at sea level and its fine Altitude is 8460 solo with what fuel load so its faster
As if the FAA are going to ping you for exceeding the manufacturers maximum continuous speed that is set at 138 by the manufacturer, you if you built it Maximum continuous isnt as fast as it will go....Peter

I'm not sure how you read the GPS showing both 146 and 170 ?

But yes, sounds like it's a Fat-Sport plane, perhaps?
;-)


Mike

Or maybe he was in (say) a ten degree dive?

Sure is a puzzle.

THINK AGAIN.   See the attached as to what can be done with a Sport Plane.

OK, so you want a fast LSA? Buy one, then rip out the tiny motor and replace it like the Cessna 150 Bush Conversion with 160HP engine. Just don't tell anyone and do it with your hangar doors closed.

If you want to go really fast, go get a PPL and a Vans RV8 or 9 or build a Glassair/Lancair/Velocity

Well...I did not know that... wow...but leading edge droops and vortex
generators will still help a lot!

Of course the flaps don't help since the stall speed is specified as "clean"

ie no flaps....
