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. |
