We have a lot of "homegrown engineers"in the spirit of the EAA...and we all know without the original experimenters the homebuilt movement would be dead ...some were engineers but most were good ole boys with backgrounds ...a lot of SWAG used...Scientific wild-ass guessing......some are no longer with us because of their experimenting....but that's progress...and that's freedom....
The majority of Kolbs are N-numbered.....There are some safeguards in the inspection process after completion of an n-numbered aircraft and if a major change is made to an aircraft after the certification , then you need another approval from the powers that be....... Ultralights are exempt from any regulation or common sense.
Hope this helps ....

Ed
Thanks for the reminder about N-numbering and subsequent approvals to
any mods. And, yes, it helps keep things in perspective.
Thx again.

Ed, et al, The subject of changes to the aircraft, both major and minor, and
the effect of the changes as to operation of the aircraft are discussed on
many lists. It comes down to what was written into your operating
limitations. Even major changes, a prop or an engine for example, may only
require a logbook notation and reverting back to the test area limitations
for 5 to 10 hours. The FAA has changed the wording of operating limitations
in the last few years. If you find your operating limitations are the older,
more restrictive version you can petition your local FSDO to amend and
upgrade them to the new wording.
