Please see my previous response...

The important thing to note is that an Experimental aircraft is never
"certified"; it is simply granted an airworthiness certificate.

A "certified" aircraft is one built under a Type Certificate.

So, it appears that there is no reason why an Experimental could not be
converted to an eLSA...

If it's your opinion that an experimental aircraft capable
of exceeding Vh of 120 knots when originally certified can
later be modified to comply with the LSA definition, then we
completely disagree.

Yep, that's my opinion. At this point, the best thing we can do is agree
to
disagree.
