Is it correct to say that the consensus standards do not apply, when i
t is a
plans built? How about kit meeting 51% self built rule?

I'm still not exactly sure I understand what an experimental LSA is, a
nd
what hoops must be jumped through.

An ELSA is simply an SLSA that has been pulled off the production line
at whatever point the customer wants. The customer then finishes the
planes following the EXACT factory instructions but it must be
identical to the SLSA. All factory parts and no modifications at all.

It is subject to the same maintaince ect requirements as SLSA but can
not be used for instruction or rental.

Sorry, but you didn't catch what I asked. What about the plans built, or
one that has no assembly, at all? What about the guy that designs one (one
off) that fits under the specs of the rule?
