LSA Harmonization in Europe, the coming light-sport aircraft rule:
Could this harmonazation keep the Aeronca 11CC Chief, which was discluded from LSA by the FAA, from becoming abandoned.
The MTOW would have to be raised to 1350 lbs, a mere 30 lbs from 1320lbs.
I suppose this may not be brought about because of the oppisition of those LSA companies wanting to sell new aircraft.
To bad for the Aeronca 11CC, a near duplicate of the 11AC and 11BC, type certified with a Max Gross Wt only 100 lbs heavier than its brothers.
That is all.
