It was recently pointed out to me that certification and operation of an LSA (601 XL) as an Amature built E-LSA could a non-issue or at least, in jepordy of happening, according to this article on p.68.
I keep re-reading the article, and find it confusing, contradictory, and in general, very poorly written. It tends to leave more questions than it answers. Does anyone understand, and can explain what the author is trying to say, other than "doom and gloom" on the horizon?
I am perhaps half done with the airframe, and expect to fly my 601 early next year, but if this author's message is 100% accurate, I am at a loss as to how it will be certified.

Any aircraft that meets the LSA limitations - either factory or home built - can be flown under sport pilot rules. The aircraft limits are: Fixed gear, fixed or ground adjustable prop, two passengers max and under 1340 lbs gross.
The only real difference in certification between ELSA and Experimental is that the Experimental must meet the 51% rule whereas the ELSA can be more than 49% complete when purchased.
The maintenence rules are identitcal for both Experimental and ELSA except that the owner of an ELSA must attend a repairman's class and pass a test to qualify to do his own conditional inspection, whereas the home builder can gain a repairman's certificate without taking a class or test (the successful assembly of the aircraft is the class).
