No, you can never do any modifications to any LSA; it always has to conform

Wrong!

That answer is patently wrong and I've given you
the link here to prove it.

The manufacturer may send out paperwork as to
allowable mods, and given the certification, you can
do it yourself.

OK, I see the problem here.

You haven't a clue what the word "modification" means in terms of airplanes.

Nope, not for a LSA.

An LSA? Â*Which type. ELSA? Â*SLSA? True for one,
not for the other, but no is the wrong answer.

It doesn't matter what kind of LSA it is, modifications are not allowed
to be done to LSA's.

I'm sorry Jim. Â*Your command of the English Language,

The problem is the word "modification" has a particular legal meaning when
it comes to airplanes and you don't understand that.

The English dictionary definition of "modification" is not the FAA legal
definition.

Yep, after they make the Piper changes:

"The changes to the aircraft are stronger nosegear, a Ballistic Recovery
Systems parachute and leather interior both as standard equipment, a
cockpit sunshade and modified pitch controls, plus a custom paint scheme."

10) What about repairing and modifying my LSA? That’s legal just as

Yes and no, it depends on the type of LSA. If you build your own
experimental LSA (E-LSA), then you are the de facto A&P and can do
repairs and mods.

The Faa definition of "mods" is defined in this case as those which
the
original manufacturer offers, or any other subsequent modifications
which are allowable by the Faa.

Wrong yet again, if it is an experimental you can modify anything as long
as the results still meet the LSA rules, and fly under LSA rules.

It does not matter how many previous owners a project may have had -
as long as each owner intended to build the aircraft for their own
education or recreation - if you can document or show documentation of
the work that each did, it is as if YOU did the work!"



Which continues to ignore 65.104 (a) (2).

Yes and no, it depends on the type of LSA. If you build your own
experimental LSA (E-LSA), then you are the de facto A&P and can do
repairs and mods.

21.190 Issue of a special airworthiness certificate for a light-sport
category aircraft.

21.191 Experimental certificates.

FAA Order 8000.84A

"Experimental, operating light-sport aircraft (ELSA). These types of
aircraft will be identified as ELSA for the purpose of this order. ELSA
are issued an experimental certificate under Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 21, section 21.191(i)."

Note that light-sport category aircraft are covered by 21.190 and that
21.191 are experimental.

Also note that aircraft with a certificate issued under 21.191(i) has to
be assembled "In accordance with manufacturer's assembly instructions" or
"been previously issued a special airworthiness certificate in the
light-sport category under 21.190."

Bottom line:

If it is a kit of a production LSA or a kit provided by the manufacturer as
being a LSA, you can not deviate from the manufacturers assembly instructions
in any way.

If it is built under the provisions of 21.191 (g) or (h) and the final
product meets LSA specifications, it can be flown under LSA rules and you
can make modifications and continue to fly it under LSA rules as long as
the modifications continue to meet LSA specifications.
