i didn't know where exactly to post this, so i thought i'd try here. seems i read or heard some where that they (the feds) are looking to increase the max take off weight for light sport aircraft. does anyone know anything about this or is it just a rumor?
THANKS

I am keeping my ear to the ground regarding all the LSA stuff an I have heard nothing to substantiate such a rumor.

This is a topic that is of huge interest to many of us. Unfortunately, there has been no new updates. The last thing I heard was that about 1-2 years ago, EAA (or AOPA) was trying to get the FAA to increase the weight limit to 1500.

I do not think so but the feds do interesting things. The new rule release, supposed to be in December 2009 will tell us. I have been surprised before.
