They never knew what they wanted amateurs to prove and they still don't.

I think that their real objective is shut down aircraft factories
masquerading as homebuilders. I don't think that is an unreasonable goal, but
it may be up to us to figure out how they can do that without stepping on the
toes of honest homebuilders and honest suppliers, and then convincing them.

why would they or you want to????
surely the goal for aircraft building is structurally sound aircraft.

the way managed manufacturing is going you will eventuially have the
choice of something built by clued up enthusiasts in your own country
or something tacked together and given a slick paint job in some asian
sweat shop.

why deny your own people the opportunity to build an industry?

certification is just a 1930's quality assurance program out of
england. it is not the only way that safe sound aircraft can be built.

if the 'aircraft factories masquerading as homebuilders' are producing
sound aircraft why do you seek to stop them? jealousy? envy?
