Ummm, well, no. Aircraft still have to go through the certification

The 51%-certification is a nice-to-have, but in itself doesn't guarantee
the FAA
will certify the airplane as Experimental Amateur-Built. It's still
possible
for the FAA to reject certification of an individual aircraft.

C'mon Ron. You make it sound like the FAA guys are an officious bunch of
self righteous bureaucrats!

For the next (at least) two years, they'll be officious self-lefteous
bureaucrats. :-)
