Here's another one ......
If the original approval is based upon flight testing that shows the airplane to exceed LSA limitations in speed, if it were later modified (prop, VGs etc.) to be within LSA limitations, would it be legal for a Sport Pilot to fly it?
I am a private pilot with a medical, but I am trying to understand what my options might be if one day I decide not to renew my medical and find myself with an EAB aircraft that does not comply with LSA rules, but could.

How late in the construction is it practical to make the decision on whether your Ligtning will be LSA compliant or not?
I would think it would be just before you chose your propellor and needed to decide to fit VGs rather than gear leg fairings and wheelpants. In other words, right at the end.
Am I missing something?

The rule states:
'Light-sport aircraft' means an aircraft, other than a helicopter or
powered-lift that, since its original certification, has continued to
meet the... [stated requirements].
Put another way, any aircraft that, since its original certification,
did not meet the light-sport definition is not a light-sport aircraft.

As I understand the current rules allow any Certified
Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft meeting the current speeds and weight
etc. for light sport Can be flown as a Light Sport Aircraft with a Pilots
Certificate, Biannual, and check ride. Bob Haas N 380HB

Don't forget that the Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft must have
met the definition of a Light-Sport Aircraft *since its original
certification*.
This means that if it *ever* had a variable-pitch prop or didn't meet
some other part of the definition, it is technically *never* eligible
to be flown as an LSA by a Sport Pilot.
