Curious if any thought has been given to the idea of registering some
of the two seat touring motor glider types as "Light Sport Aircraft"
in the US under the new Sport Pilot initiative?

If the Vne is 120 knots or less, and the weight is below 1320,
this is certainly possible. I think the SF-25 matches these,
but can't confirm the Vne .
The Grob-109 1800# + weight. Ximango 132 knts Vne.

I'm thinking of the Scheibe SF-25 or 28, Grob, Vivat, Ximango
(although with its gear it may not be allowed).
Would it be under gliders, or aircraft?
Has anyone done it yet?

Thanks,
