Default eLSA certification


In reviewing the definitions from the FAA na dfrom comments posted in
this newsgroup, there seem to be some special opportunities when
building aircraft that could fit LSA derfinitions.

If my understanding is correct, it would be possible for someone to
build (for instance) a Van's RV-6a with a Lyc O-235 or Conti O-200 and a
ground adjustable prop set to its extreme climb configuration to limit
speed to 138 mph. As long as the plane's max TOW is stated to be 1320
lbs, that would fit the LSA category.

Is this assumption correct?

TIA,
