If it was in and has been modded the question is what mods can be undone.

The mod only effects LSA compliance IF the change alters the FAA information.

The auto-pilot servos are hooked up to ailerons (flaperons in this case) and elevator. The auto-pilot rate of turn is Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:44:59 GMT UltraJohn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sport_Aircraft/message/16677 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sport_Aircraft/message/16677 Makes perfect sense.
