Regarding the 51% rule and individuals building RV-10's for profit and
not for personal use. There is an interesting/scary thread on VAF that I
would encourage you all to read.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=8335&page=1&pp=10
in this thread there is reference to the company in the Philipines that
Van's has contracted with to do the quickbuilds. on this company's website.
http://www.bonanzametalcrafters.com/prodserv.htm
at the bottom of this page is a frame that is labled 'RV10 FULL BUILD'.
If you continue reading the thread someone claims that he was told
during a tour of the factory by the owner that he had received
approval/permission from Van's to buy the complete airframe kits fron
Van's and build and remarket them!!!!!!!! Heresy, but the web site tends
to substantiate the intent.
This may have something to do with the double talk that Van & Ken gave
at the Forum when John Cox posed the question to them as to what they
were going to do to ensure that RV's continued to be owner/built. ! ? ! ?
The quality of the QB's are for the most part very good, however as
noted in the thread, due to frequent turnover of the bonanza staff, and
Van's loose QC, there are some exceptions which have occured.
The plot thickens .........
