I've seen people refer to various Taylorcraft models as meeting LSA, but I can't find a reference for their gross weights. Anyone have a reference for this?

You can use the link button up at the top, you just have to paste twice (I think) to get it in there. That might be another question for Hal, does can we auto convert links.

Thanks guys. Lighter than I thought. No question, they meet LSA weight.

The Taylorcraft L2M has a gross weight of 1325 lbs and does not qualify.

True, but my 1940 BC-65 is right at home flying as an LSA and I much prefer flying Sport Pilot. They are a TON of fun guys, they think that they are a funny looking motorglider, TRUST ME.
