IVO sells Prop that is in flight adjustable;
Could that prop be used in a light sport plane if the adjustment switch was located in the engine compartment. Not accessible to the pilot in flight?
Could be used a static adjustment...

We've had planes receive their E-LSA airworthiness by doing just that. The rules only state that it be ground adjustable... doesn't need to be a "manual" adjustment.. the electric one is fine, as long as you can only adjust it while on the ground
