From Ken Scott:
the airplane is powered by a stock O-200B — out of a blimp, of all things.
I did work for Van’s, but I was never an engineer for them. In fact, I think they would quail in horror at the thought of me engineering anything!
The airplane is not an LSA — licensing an airplane as a Light requires all kinds of engineering data, testing and certification, as well as a prototype that has demonstrated compliance with all the light sport design, structural, and performance standards. What it is, by virtue of meeting weight and performance criteria, is an EAB airplane that can be flown a Light Sport pilot.
