The garbage comes from  emphasis, like quotes and colored type, put in the post on the web site. If  you go there you can read the post in the intended format.

Just a quick note to anyone interested.



When commenting about Lighter than Air LSA in



Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft Final Rule

Page 44794

Exact quote follows:



â€œThe FAA intended for the LTA weight limit to be comparable to the weight limit for the other light-sport aircraft designs, that is, a maximum mass for the aircraft.â€

                                maximum mass.

Ben:

  

 By the way, back at the beginning of this thread I was the lurker who asked one of the first questions about whether Steve was right in his interpretation of the LSA rules.  I really wanted him to be right.  Why?  Because I was also the one who wanted to buy your plane at 1400# and fly it at a gross of 1320#.  The consensus seems to be against that working.  Too bad, you have a beauty there.

"I was also the one who wanted to buy your plane at 1400# and fly it at a gross of 1320#. "

And just why do you believe you can't do just that?



"The consensus seems to be against that working"

I must have missed that poll, where is it?



"Too bad, you have a beauty there." 

 so don't let others make up you mind for you. Do the reading and research and you will see that all be just fine, (if it meets the rest of the perameters.)



Anyone interested in learning about why you MAY alter your Experinental, such as switching from  in-flight adjustable prop back to fixed pitch, and the plane NOW  LSA eligible, e-mail me and I will get back as soon as possible. It can be done under the letter of the law, (as intended) no problem.

please don't post anything on the subject at this time , it would only draw the wrath of others.  If you must, don't blame me for the noise.

 You are right.  By no means it will be legal to fly that plane with a Sport Pilot license.

With all the talent that this list seems to encompass, it seems 

unlikely that one person, that being Steve, has hit upon something that 

no one else seems to support. Has anyone called the FAA or the EAA for 

confirmation of his suggestions? Steve, have you? For myself, I'm happy 

to live by the 1200 lb. gross that Skystar has set for my plane, and 

that I have burned into my data plate, so I have not looked further 

into the matter. But it seems like such a long, ongoing thread that 

someone would have put the matter to rest by now, for better or for 

worse.

And forgive me if someone HAS supported Steve's campaign, because I 

have NOT followed each and every post pertaining to it.

List,

I have attached a scan from the most recant EAA Sport Pilot magazine,Q&A page ( see the question fron D. Williamson)

The answer defenatly states the EAA position on the LSA weight question.

You have been provided with the rulings and definitions right from the FAA regulatory documents, but some guy name Joe, who never did any reasearch and is paraphrasing out of context is your source? 



Read the regulatory information, ..and think...for yourself.

Just to show the irony in "Joe's" profound ultimation"...

  My 1400 lb. Series 5 is still in"phase 1". and has newer BEEN operated , since it's so called certification (when it recieved it's AW cert.) at over 1320 lbs during that time. so according to his NON- FAA APPROVED opinion it STILL is eligible. 

Well ??? which is it?

 See what happens when one tries to paraphrase and then state the FAA rulings in their OWN language?
