I am in agreement with replacing the word "autofeathering" with the term "feathering" in 14 CFR 1.1 (definition of "Light-sport Aircraft.") According to those who have more experience with this the manual method of feathering the propeller on powered gliders is very simple, effective, and fool-proof. I also feel that the manual method of feathering stays within the bounds of the intent of Light Sport Aircraft and the Sport Pilot rule.
