I like the education and recreation language of the current regulation. It seems that the words "significant personal involvement in the assembly and fabrication of the aircraft for education and recreation ", makes a lot of sense. A time log and or progress log (written or electronic) might have to become mandatory. Special accommodation may have to be made in the case of an Experimental aircraft that was started and then sold to another home builder. If I order an experimental aircraft from a professional builder - I should have ordered a Cessna or a Piper. If I show up at the professional builder's location for a few cameo assembly pictures, then try to pull the wool over the DAR's face, I should not expect an Experimental Certificate. Perhaps, for a fee, the FAA can certify professionally fabricated kit planes, but they would be something other than Experimental. Significant personal involvement should not be too difficult to ascertain with a simple checklist and careful questioning of the builder on the structure, and systems of the craft. An experimental owner builder MUST have an intimate familiarity with all of the structure, and systems of the craft. This gets back to the phrase education and recreation. An appeal process could also be implemented for those turned down for an Experimental Certificate. -------- OSH '08 or Bust (busted) be there in "09 Q/B Kit - exited cabin top/door purgatory Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 3340#203340 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:04:42 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Garmin GPS496 Antenna & XM antenna mounting From: "orchidman" OK, where are the pictures and plans.

Looking forward to getting on more trips now that we're back in what I consider to be the "flying season".

The good news is that for all of you that requested the shoulder harness bracket only, they went out this morning.... even to some who I hadn't received ck's from yet. The bad news,,, which is actually good news, is that I pulled the headset bracket off my 10 and redesigned it so that it would fit almost all headsets, and also changed from aluminum to stainless. Also good news,,,, they ran them today on the cnc, are partially deburred, but now are awaiting the brake and about 6 hours in the tumbler. Best guess is that they will be ready the end of this week.... to probably ship next week. It's been great talking to everyone. Don McDonald #40636 Finishing the plane and the kitchen remodel ps.
