I thought that I understood the new Sport Pilot/Aircraft rules (first mistake) until I came across the fact that
apparently you can buy a ready to fly CH601HD made by Zenair in the US that is registered as a sLSA, or you can buy the
same ready to fly plane built by Czech Aircraft Works and register it as an eLSA. The only difference seems to be that
the US built plane uses a Lycoming engine, the Czech one uses a Rotax.

Do the rules really give you the option of registering a factory built, ready to fly plane as an experimental LSA?

Don't think it would be registered as experimental, just certified.
