Clarification: the above statement is ambiguous.

Let's take the Arion Lightning. They received certification
now to produce an SLSA lightning. That is complete off
the showroom floor. (actually, you preorder)

Or, you can use builder-assist, and produce the same
product. Now you've got an ELSA lightning.

But they're *both* an Arion Lightning LSA.

Or...you can put on wheel pants, omitt the winglets,
add high performance prop, and now you've got an
Arion lightning airplane, but not LSA.

This scenerio is underway at many LSA plants
across the world today.
