Default UPDATE: FAA says homebuilders have to build the components of their projects off-airport

I applaud the FAA's interpretation. In California there's a shortage of
hangars generally, in no small measure because of hangars full of junk
airplane parts that supposedly make 1 or more airplanes. Guys go and
tinker endlessly a few hours a week and make no progress to a flying
machine. Meanwhile actual flying aircraft are forced to deteriorate on
the ramp.

Likewise for home builders. I'm building an RV-9A, at home, and have
little sympathy for those who want to occupy a hangar for years for
their hobby. Long restoration and builds can be done most anywhere;
flying aircraft can only be kept at an airport. Keep airport hangars for
flying aircraft, not endless projects.
