You have a Rotax engine, right?


No. The AMD Zodiac uses an O-200-A, fully certificated, just like the one
you'll find on the average 150.

How can an airplane that is certificated by LSA, (a certification process
that is day VFR only) be allowed to be equal with those that went through
the full part 23 process?


Because the LSA certification rule says that the aircraft may be used for
anything that's in the POH. Check out the AOPA's statement on the subject
at http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulat....html#aircraft ...and
the EAA says the same thing.
