The advantage of an ELSA is the new repairman certificate that lets you work on more than one airplane. The new mechanic rating for LSA is not as cut and dry as getting a repairmans cert.You have to get training on each type of LSA that you want to work on.That is how they are getting around the A&P issue.Just because you get qualified to work on your LSA doe's not give you the privledges to work on someone elses of a different type.I just had a very lengthy talk with FAA about this issue at Oshkosh.The thought of someone going to a short 8 hour class and then fixing airplanes is scary to even think about.
