Default eLSA certification

It would never be an E-LSA it might be an experimental-Homebuilt that meets
the requirements for LSA pilots.

In reviewing the definitions from the FAA na dfrom comments posted in this
newsgroup, there seem to be some special opportunities when building
aircraft that could fit LSA derfinitions.

If my understanding is correct, it would be possible for someone to build
(for instance) a Van's RV-6a with a Lyc O-235 or Conti O-200 and a ground
adjustable prop set to its extreme climb configuration to limit speed to
138 mph. As long as the plane's max TOW is stated to be 1320 lbs, that
would fit the LSA category.

Is this assumption correct?

TIA,
