Don't think so. The vne for one should be 120kt or less.
This might be for microlight...

from AVCOM
Max take off mass: 600 kg for land plane
Maximum Stall Speed at Gross Landing Configuration: 45kts
Maximum speed, level flight max cont power: 150 kts
Max no seats (incl Pilot): 2
Single engine (non turbine or jet): yes
Unpressurised: yes
Prop: Fixed or VP or CS in flight adjustable
Undercarriage: Fixed tricycle or tail wheel or retract
so it just might fall into the NPL class

Should not be a problem. The Flamingo I am told falls into the LSA category as does the Sting RG and the Dynamic WT RG, so can't see why not this one.

This is in USA, locally they made it 150kts and include VP and RG which USA don't allow...
