Don, I don't see how you can get a M2 into LSA.  Particularly with a
renesis -- you have way too many HP to qualify for LSA & way too high a
top speed.  Finally, the stall speed of the M2 is above the max for LSA.

Am I missing something here?  Without a Van's-style chocolate bar wing,
and a neutered engine, I am very sceptical the FSDO will buy a LSA M2...

This is Perth Australia Mark.  Different rules.

Yeh Mark, no speed restrictions, you can go as fast as that little sucker
can take the stresses, within the 600 Kilo ( 1320) weight limit.
Personally I believe it makes this aspect makes LSC more imaginative and
interesting in relation to concepts for future development.

Mind you it's very difficult to see how a LSC aircraft could take +6 &-6G's
at 200 mph +, considering strength requirements ( which equates to weight),
power requirements ( which equate to weight) and fuel requirements ( which
equate to weight).
I guess that's why they didn't bother about speed restrictions - but it does
leave room for innovation, which is the key word in aviation.
