On reading this it's obviously a shot across the bow of the yuppie-
popular fast build kit industry. All I can say is, It's About Time and
You Damn Skippy this is needed and right.

RVG/Van's is essentially promoting, marketing and merchandising a
factory aircraft uniform from machine to machine, using just enough
builder labor to get away with Amateur Built, promoting a consistent
product for increased resale etc, etc. He is poaching on the factory
builder's prerogative. If he wants every airplane the same for as much
money as he can make per unit (and he's making a fortune) and to
promote this for business reasons he should build 100% of the airplane
and operate as a certificated manufacturer.

Experimental/Amateur built is for EXPERIMENTATION as an integral
component of the process. To reduce it to a factory consistent product
is to make it simply a low rent dodge of type certification.

You bet I am writing the FAA and my (admittedly worthless)
congressmen-in support of this crackdown.

Anyone else think Brett's med's are off? He used to be a much better troll.

His trolls in other groups have recently been similarly off.

Flu, perhaps?

Yeah, I've got one of those yuppy RV7 kits in my shop for 4 years now,
and it just flat refuses to assemble itself... So where do I go to
complain?
