I see that two LSA aircrafts that had already been certified, crashed

I couldn't find any info on the Highlander crash that mentioned engine
problems. What sources are you using as supporting material?

You are totally within you rights to question whether it was engine
problems.

The report I saw said he had problems on takeoff.

With a LSA, there is not much to cause problems on takeoff, other than the
engine. No controllable prop. No landing gear to retract. I suppose he
could have failed to remove gust locks, but I doubt it.

He could have taken off over gross, on too short of a runway. I doubt it.

So, yes, it is my assumption that the engine failed to make full power. We
will see, upon further facts being published.

Once again, I am pleased that both pilots will be able to give a more
complete account of the problems they experienced.
