With respect to Steve Blank (from FL) and those who have no dog in this hunt, Good luck with your future insurance rates. The gene pool is only as strong as the contributors. If compelled, respond direct to Dave, he is one of the Good Guys in this profession. Your consideration on this issue is of value.

You may have heard that the FAA is studying the current status of the 51% rule.
It is widely believed that there is systematic abuse of the rule by some builders who employ businesses and individuals to complete much more than 49% of their aircraft, then falsify FAA Form 8130-12, Eligibility Statement for Amateur-Built Aircraft.
FAA has formed an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to study the situation and make recommendations regarding the rule. You can read the ARC charter here:
http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgOrders.nsf/0/efe4866385f304a0862571b800535d7a/$FILE/Order1110.143.pdf
As a builder's assistant and a member of the committee, I am interested in your opinions. I am posting this message to a number of experimental aircraft forums in the hope of developing some kind of consensus to bring to the next meeting.
I would ask that you make whatever comments you feel are relevant to the forums, but in an attempt to develop a consensus, I’m also asking for a show of hands: please email me at Dave(at)AirCraftersLLC.com (Dave(at)AirCraftersLLC.com) with your comments, and if possible summarize your thinking in the subject line as either “Keep 51% As Is” or “Allow More Builder Assistance”. I understand there is currently a HUGE gray area in between. Also, if you care to post this note to other forums please feel free—I’ll do my best to keep up with the traffic.
I look forward to your responses.
