What does ISA refer to? (Google isn't helping me...)
But as someone else replied, planes go faster at higher altitudes. The
LSA spec limits the speed to about 138 MPH at sea level, which
apparently can translate into >150MPH at 8-10,000 feet. I noticed this
is on the Sonex website. Sounds like a good deal to me!

It seems to me that a fast speed at altitude, will equate to an even
faster speed at std. sea level conditions using the ISA
assumptions.Yet, I've seen claims, for LSA compliant planes, that go
the other way (e.g. 138 mph at std. sea level and much faster at
altitude). Is this reasonable, and more importantly LSA compliant?
