Im wanting to look at all the different planes there are for kit/
experimental planes. I was hoping to find a website that would have
that kind of search ability.
Can anyone help me find such a website?

Cheers,
Chris

The best single source that I have found for your search is the World
Directory of Leisure Aviation. This 252 page magazine lists, and has photos
of airplanes, gyrocopters, helicopters, sail planes, and trikes. In spite
of the fact that we produce the Experimental Helo magazine, the World
Directory of Leisure Aviation scooped us on a few helicopters that we were
unaware of. See www.widola.com
Another source is the Kit Planes magazine that has separate issues covering
plans builts, kits, and LSAs.

One possibility:

http://www.kitplanes.com/aircraftdirectory/

But I suspect you have to be a subscriber.

The December issue of Kitplanes has such a directory. Perhaps you can
still find one on a news stand. If not try the library.

USA LSA can only have a maximum of two seats. If there is a class of
aircraft in another country with the same name of LSA, that is a misnomer.
LSA is a USA only classification.

I was wondering much the same, but from the almost stellar distance of

Still this looks like a nice answer to my requirement for a two-seater
traveller with lots of luggage capacity.

Nice interesting plane but it is either not a LSA or not a 4 seater
for 4 adults. Its also underpowered as a 4 place.

It also flies too fast to be considered a LSA.

Please pardon my lack of credulity; but, in addition to not fitting the LSA
definition in the US, a clean stall speed of 30kts with a wing loading of
16psf looks like a proposal that has not yet been fully tested and verified.

Perhaps I'm being a little dense here, I don't see anywhere on the
linked page where it says anything about light sport. Checking
further, none of their single or two seat airplanes mention anthing
about light sport either.

Where did you get the idea that any of Morgan's aircraft were intended
to fit US Light Sport specs?

OK my error there so my apologies, but then the OP was asking for info on "4
place kit / experimental planes" and the Morgan seems to fit the bill though
its not very practical IMHO.
My not being in the US probably had something to do with that.
Here is another Australian AC in a 4 place experimental
