If a person wants to BOTH design and build their own lsa at home, is that allowed by the Gov? The lsa I'm thinking of is basically a 40 lbs over the limit ultralight, stall around 35 to 40 mph, intended to be used in the same way as a 103, not carry any passengers, 10 gal of fuel. As i understand it, you just keep a builders log, apply for and N number, get some "dude/babe" to come take a gander at it and give it an air worthiness cert. Is that last part (or any part) of this a problem? NOT interested in building a kit as the fun is in the designing, building, flying something out of your own brain made EXACTLY as you want it. Sports pilot lisc assumed.
