Old school vs new

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

Thank you very much. That link was most informative. There's a wealth of information on this site and sometimes it's hard to keep things in perspective. That explained it very nicely.

The CH 650's firewall-forward will accommodate a Jabiru 3300, Lycoming O-235 or -233, or Rotax four-cylinder powerplants as alternatives to the S-LSA version's TCM O-200.
See, but this is different. If you design it so that CG is within range with a O-233, then you drop Rotax in easily: just make the motor mount longer! The opposite is much harder.
