Hi Jay,
I managed to get the E-LSA registration under the loophole that existed up until Jan 31, 2008 for registration of Fat Ultralights as well as any aircraft that fit the LSA standards. The fact that I also was using a Corvair engine was not a consideration as long as the factory allows the use of one as well, and in fact, they even suggest that the aircraft be built using the Corvair as one of the optional engine choices. For that reason I was given the 5 hour flyoff. That option has now passed however... UNLESS you were able to get the aircraft registered as an ELSA prior to Jan 31, 2008. THEN you would have another two years (through an extension that was given the day following the expiration date) to obtain your sign off.
So, unless you already have the aircraft registered as ELSA (N Number), you're out of luck trying to get anything done unless you DO have an identical aircraft to the factory built version.
Hope that answers the question.
<<Not to pick on you personally, Scott; your signature got me to wondering...
I thought an E-LSA needed to be identical to a factory-built SLSA aside from
the builder. Is this not so? If it is so, how does one register a Zodiac XL
with anything but an O-200 as an E-LSA?>>
