ummm - sorry about the confusion, you are right. I meant LSA (Light
Sport Aircraft). Seems that I am dreaming of a VLJ or so... ;-)

Well, have a look at Flight Design's CTSW. They offer a US version
(MTOW 1,320 lb) and a European version (MTOW 1,040 lb +/- conversion
error). Why that? Different rules? Or just too much hassle to get JAR
LSA certification? What if I want to fly the American version? Or a
Zenair CH601 certified as LSA according to FAR?
