Got to thinking today about building another project and was wondering
about maybe Vans coming out with an RV-? that would fit the Light
Sport Aircraft catagory. With Rotax power and about 150 kt cruise.

150 knots is 30 knots higher than the *maximum* allowed level flight
speed for Light Sport. Better run your cruise expectations down 50
knots or so....

Light Sport Aircraft are limited to 120 knots at "maximum continous
power" at "sea level".

While 150knots is a bit high for 5k-8k agl, of a plane that meets this
specI can see it going to 130-140.
