Hey Bill: I agree that we may have a problem. With all the changes in
fabrication techniques between glass and aluminum, it is difficult to prove the
51%
rule. I must admit that I could not believe how easy it was to work with
fiberglass, compared to aluminum. I think the real effort must be shown in the
difference in the materials and applications. IF, and I think that is a big IF,
the FAA (I use that term loosely because it all depends on the individual
doing the evaluation) can be shown the ease of operation/application I think it
can be shown that the completion of the kit will fall within the 20%
indicated in their press release.
>> To ensure consistency and standardization concerning amateur-built
kit aircraft evaluations, the FAA proposes to clarify how much
fabrication and assembly must be performed by the amateur builder. The
FAA is proposing that an amateur builder fabricate a minimum of 20
percent of an aircraft and assemble a minimum of 20 percent of the
aircraft. The FAA also clarifies the role of commercial assistance,
which includes both the pre-fabrication of parts and direct assistance
to the builder, as part of the remaining 49 percent (manufacturer and
commercial assistance). <<
