Default LSA specs

Could someone clarify something for me concerning LSA's. The websites
that have the detailed LSA aircraft limitations listed say that the
plane must have a maximum stalling speed of 51 mph at the maximum gross
takeoff weight WITHOUT the use of high lift devices.

I plugged the numbers for a Sonex into the John Roncz spreadsheets. (
Max Gross TOW of 1150 lbs, stall of 46 mph ) and it reports that I need
a wing area of 180 sq. feet. The Sonex only has 98 square feet of
wing. What am I missing?

Thanks
Neal
