If I remember correctly:
  • Anything registered as a microlight cannot be used to build hours toward cpl/ sep
  • Anything registered as single-engine landplane that could be classed as a microlight also doesn't count - generally speaking anything <= 450kg MTOW, although there are a few other caveats like stall speed and wing loading
  • Everything else counts

There are a few models that exist in both UL and LSA version (exactly same airframe and performance, different certification), the latter having a 600kg MTOW - that would count. A22 comes to mind.

Most Jabirus are under 450kg but some are not, e.g. J400.

MCR-4S would also work.

However, I think you will find that most of these are on a Permit to Fly in order to cut costs, and therefore cannot be rented out legally.

If you're looking for fun, why not rent a Decathlon?
