No, the aircraft would have to be "certified" (vernacular use; not a
certified aircraft) as an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft.

The Experimental "certification" process does not ensure that the aircraft
meets the criteria for an LSA.

Excellent post. This is the only statement I question. Are you sure
about
this? I could swear I've read that Sport Pilots could fly Experimental
aircraft, assuming the aircraft met the SP allowed weight, speed, etc.
