Hello, new to the forum, joined because I have a burning question.

The CC340 engine is stated to have a max takeoff power of 180hp and a max continuous of 80hp. Is the restriction because of the engine itself of because of LSA requirements that exist in the USA? Is it possible to operate the high gross Carbon Cub EX with the CC340 and cruise using the full range of throttle?

Any reply's are appreciated.

Thanks
