BTW, I forgot to mention in the earlier post that I was also told that they
are designing a new oil sump integral with the crank case. The O-300 has
had that forever and it does facititate a very sleek cowling.

There is a good justification for an FAR Part 33 certified engine and FAR
Part 35 certified propeller in that, as I understand it, an appropriately
equipped LSA can have Night and IFR within its operating limitations when
flown by a qualified pilot and can still be flown Day VFR by a Sport Pilot.

Thanks, Peter, for your splendid commentary and data provided in this
thread. It makes wading through RAH worth it.
