CHange SPortstar engine from 100Hp to 130 HP

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).

Have you researched how fast the 130 will take you, is it in LSA limits, or are you flying with a PPL, may just have to watch your VNe. I think the VNe is 20% lower than what is stated, maybe not tho.

As I understand it, in order to remain a legal S-LSA the manufacturer must approve any changes.
