What's that about being able to remove the armature built notification?

Hi Sabrina,



Fantastic effort, love what you did with the instruments and the center console, whats the next project going to be?

Hi Sabrina;



Is there a more extensive website that the summary page or just that and the videos on YouTube?



I am still blown away by your accomplishments - and I am 52!

If the craft had failed the MISO inspection, so long as it had the "Amateur Built" warning, it was still possible to register it as an amateur built after inspection by the FSDO.   Once it passed MISO inspection, the "Amateur Built" warning could be removed, leaving only the "Experimental" warning.  One key benefit is that I can give the airplane to my dad for his birthday, and as a "subsequent" owner, he can conduct E-LSA conditional inspections after going through a 16 hour course at EAA HQ and applying for/receiving an E-LSA repairman  certificate from the FAA.   I think amateur builts can only be conditionally inspected by the original builder and not subsequent owners.  Since I am only 14, I could not apply for the repairman certificate on an amateur built anyhow.    



I cannot thank all of you out there enough for all of your help over the years.   I asked most of you just one question or two, so as not to bother you too much.  As the WTTW segment points out, I could not have done it without you!

P.S. Zenith is OK with the name and my modifications.   They lovingly call it the XL SE   (Sabrina Edition).   (Back in early 2006, they were the only kit mfg. open to idea of a 12 year old building their airplane.)  Zenith  rules!

Wow

I'm impressed. How do you like the open space around the center console?

Is there any negative structural impact from not having a traditional instrument panel? if so, how did you compensate for that?

I am truly humbled, and that doesn't happen too often.  Reading the mail on her previous posts (H tail) I concluded that Sabrina was at the very least and engineering student in college or the like.  To find out that she is 13 years old literally made my jaw drop.  Looking at her XL just had me shaking my head.



Sabrina... I taught high school science for 34 years and had the pleasure of working with some great kids.  I must say however that I never met anyone that had accomplished so much at so young an age. You are to be congratulated and I look forward to hearing of your further exploits.  For an old timer like myself there is no chance of ever making it to space but you surely will if that is your goal.



For the rest of you, next time you start to complain about the younger generation remember Sabrina.

Where did I get the money for the airplane?	I sold my high school

car, a 2004 Corvette that just sat in the garage waiting for me to turn

15 at Carmax for $32,000.

Zenith could use this as a promotional tool!    Although, I do not know of too many 13 year olds like yourself, Sabrina.

 Hmm... what can I do to get my 1 year old daughter to like airplanes and flying?
