    Subject: 51% Rule
    From: "bandit362" <t_veeder@yahoo.com>
    Hello Everyone, Been lurking here for the last several months, listening to the chat. Retired from the AF last year (flew F-4s, F-117s and F-16s) and was hired by a defense contractor here in Tucson. Took a demo ride in Greg Hobbs Lightning last Nov and have been looking at my finances to try to squeeze money from the budget (just sold a house in Hawaii and am looking to buy here in Tucson.) Anyway, enough about me. What do you think the 51% ruling is going to do for/against the Lightning? (I am hoping for!!) Regards, Tim Veeder -------- T Veeder Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=194865#194865

    Tim, From one retired AF fighter pilot to another - welcome aboard. The answer to your 51% rule question is still a bit "up in the air" but we shou ld have a better understanding of the new FAA proposal after Oshkosh (I am the re now). But reading their proposal, I think the Lightning should be OK. Bel ow is a summary of what the AOPA has to say about the new proposal. We will g et the EAA's take in several forums during the convention. Blue Skies, Buz Rich The FAA is scrutinizing =9Cfast build=9D homebuilt aircraft pro grams and with that may come policy changes that affect future kit designs. The FAA has released several _draft documents_ (http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/display_docs/index.cfm?Doc_Type=Pu bs) to clarify the regulation of the homebuilt aircraft segment. The biggest potential change is to the definition of the so-called 51-percent rule. The FAA=99s original int ention was that the individual would fabricate more than 50 percent and assemble more than 50 percent of the aircraft. The FAA became concerned when fast-build kits entered the market where an aircraft owner=99s contribution resulted in 51 percent of the assembl y only. The agency felt that this did not meet the intent of building =9Csolely f or their own education or recreation.=9D The FAA now defines 51 percent as the builder completing, at a minimum, 20 percent of the assembly and 20 percent of the fabrication with the remainin g 11 percent made up from either additional assembly or fabrication. The FAA now states that the commercial assistance or =9Cfor hire=9D building programs will not count toward 20 percent of the assembly by the individual. The policy changes would not affect those flying traditionally certified aircraft or already completed amateur-built aircraft. Existing kit designs essentially would be grandfathered, while new models, after the rules go in to effect, would get the extra scrutiny. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.

    You know Buz, the part of this proposal that is rough on glass kit builders is the fabrication. Think about how most glass kits come, mostly prefabricated fuse, flying surfaces, spar box, etc. I wonder what that would add up to in total? There are however, quite a lot of things to do from the fabrication side. If you compare a Lightning kit to say, a quickbuilt RV, they then begin to look pretty close. So, if the RV quickbuilt qualifys under the proposal, then the Lightning should also? Jim!

I have only read parts of the NPRM but I think the age-old question is How much do you have to fabricate to be a fabricator? I would think that if you had to add a tad of glass somewhere it would count as a fabrication (!!?!) Likewise an assembly. If you had to assemble the last rivet in the flap, you would still be the assembler. Somewhere between an aluminum smelter and a rivet lies the answer. I will try to think about it more, but we should all give it some thought. Doug Koenigsberg **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.

    Buz, I understand you have quoted the AOPA here, but are you getting the impression that "Existing kit designs essentially would be grandfathered" or that "Existing kit designs, already on the FAA's 51% list, essentially would be grandfathered"? In this case the difference could be critical because the Lightning is not already on the FAA's 51% list. Colin K.

    Subject: 51% Rule
    I suspect "grandfathering" is more likely to apply to aircraft on the FAA's list, not to any kit currently being produces. I looked through that list, and I was surprised at how few aircraft were on it, and how many were aircraft that no one would build today, like the Cirrus VK-30. The part that I've always had trouble sorting out is what the percentage refers to. It could be that a tail is considered to be 30% of the aircraft, so if you "fabricated" the tail, you'd be done with the fabrication requirement. Is it percent of time, and if so, what time? A fuselage for a Lightning takes only a very few hours to "fabricate" at the factory once the molds have been built, so maybe it only contributes a few hours to the total "fabrication and assembly time" for the aircraft. If that's the case, the lower the total number of hours needed to fabricate and assemble the factory-supplied parts, the fewer the hours the amateur builder needs to put into the aircraft to meet the 51% rule. That may be the saving grace for the Lightning, in that the nature of an airplane built from composite molds is such that there aren't that many total hours.
