Due to Presidents Day next Monday, the 51% Committee convened by FAA order 1110.143, is being held in Bend, OR at the offices of Epic LT on Tuesday, February 27th and again on Wednesday, February 28th.
Out of courtesy to those RV-10 builders who do not find the outcome of importance on this list, Please email me direct if you have further interest in hearing of the resolution of rewriting this archaic regulation which has allowed mass production by individual builders. Just make the Subject Line – 51% Project. I can take it offline like it has been handled by the previous two meetings.

Other than an EAA rep, and several FAA reps, there is Dave Saylor who is one of the few true builders, (non kit manufacturers). Dave has asked on this list for your opinions and posted his address so you could keep informed. At least the wolves only go after the weakest hens when guarding the roost. Now when was the last time VAN, or Joe or Rick asked what builders wanted to protect the builder’s interests with this unique pursuit. I think they just might already know what is in their own self-interests and they believe that is in ours as well.

The condition of the kit manufacturers is quite healthy, Thank you for asking. Sales are brisk.
Each of you should already know who is on the panel, what is being discussed and what they are proposing. Or just sleep tight tonight cause the roost is well guarded.
Wouldn’t it be cute to have a custom EAA dash plate which read “The majority of construction of this aircraft you are about to fly in has been built by individuals I have no knowledge of from an unidentified country other than the US of A.”

SO here is a thought on this, how can the FAA be expected to review the employment condition of every person that applies for an airworthiness certificate? We all complain about how much oversight they have now, and the associated costs. You want to see fee's go through the roof, add an additional administrative overhead to the process and see how much more money it costs us, and how much additional time will be added to the review/paperwork process?
Not saying the system does not need to be re-worked, but we need to figure out how to fix it, and I personally do not think that by having vendors on the committee, we the builders are being looked out for.
I would like to ask John Cox who else is on the panel, and who is representing "all of us?" those with the money who vote?
