It is being sold in the experimental exhibition category in the United States. I went to a MOSAIC forum at Airventure last summer and was told that the Light Sport category was not being changed. The changes would be which aircraft a Light Sort pilot could fly. If this is correct how would an airplane like the Gogetair 750 fit in? It fits in the European Light Sport category but not the American category. Would it need to be a certified aircraft under current FAA rules? Seems to be a gray area in the rules. Just wondering how the new higher speed, higher gross Light Sport airplanes are going to fit in.
