I just read this:
--The two-seat ultralight Exemption for ultralight training will expire on January 31, 2008.
-All "fat" single seat ultralights and all two-seat ultralight trainers must be converted to "experimental" LSA by August 31, 2007.

This is going to affect a lot of us. Two place is pretty obvious, but how are they going to determine who is "fat" without having weigh stations like they do for trucks?

Many single seaters have a 503 (50hp) engine and a 10 gallon tank. That's a dead give away right there as Part 103 requires 5-gallons and *usually* a 447 engine (40hp) or less power.
