Re: Elsa vs lsa

If I purchase a laSA and register it as an ElLSA can I make modifications after ? I want to be able to increase the hp using edge performance ? If you fly 100 hours per year at 120 knots, you will cover 12,000 nm. If you fly that same distance at 115 knots, it will take you 104 hours. How much is y...
