Um, wait a second.....if it has retractable gear it isn't LSA compliant!
Falcon, the FAA doesn't really have to have a reason other than to say the criteria for what makes an aircraft LSA compliant has been established and met by other manufacturers without undue safety issues, and then add that if they wish to make an aircraft that is over the gross allowable (or speed constraints, etc.) there is already a path to certification to make it market ready.
