It doesn't matter what the HP is rated at. In the last version we saw,
the
new rule only cared how fast it would go, level at WOT.
Last one I saw said continuos rated power not maximum? Maximum power is
the
determining factor for a Part 103 UL.
From my copy of the NPRM:
============
A light-sport aircraft would have a maximum speed in level flight with
maximum
continuous power (VH) of 115 knots. This limits the commanded kinetic
energy of
an aircraft
============
Has this been revised?
I also mis quoted the Rotax Hp, but the idea is the same.
I saw something that said you could not place something likie a RPM
restriction, or anything else that could be easily overcome by a pilot.
Therefore, it sounds to me like WOT = Max Cont Power.
