"Pro" constuction, design changes without mfg perm

[Jerry Purdom]

HI Bill

I concur,to quote you (am I out of line in figuring that the
regulations,governing us all,will also "evolve"????? Either way,I can't see
where "pro builders" are going to help the game,for the masses."

THANKS
jerry

Wow, are there ever two sides to this issue! The original "amateur built"

designation was intended to allow builders to pursue their efforts for
'recreation and education'. This concept has worked since the 1950's,
virtually un-touched. Without a doubt, the designs have evolved into more
complex and demanding creations, rivaling and surpasing certified craft, in
many ways. The fact that 'pro builders' have come into the fray, may
actually allow for better built aircraft to enter the arena, in some cases,
but to say that such builders are "required", in my mind, is a complete
abomination of the concept that has made this movement possible. The 'hired
gun builders' have, to an extent, changed the direction of experimental
aircraft from the backyard builders, who pour heart and soul in to their
creations, to a rich man's game of paying for a 'factory built experimental
aircraft'. Ask Wayne if the guys with the Lancair IV-P turbines are
complying with any letter of the law o

r take a look at the Oshkosh wi
nners of the past few years. Personally, I'm pleased as punch if a

gazillionaire has someone, more qualified than he, build his plane. This
supports the kit manufacturers, as well as the ancillary equipment
suppliers. All of which is good for the rest of us. My concern with the
idea is that the governing body (FAA, Canadian or whatever authority) steps
in and institutes restrictions that would adversely affect us all. If
there's 'evolution' on our end, am I out of line in figuring that the
regulations, governing us all, will also 'evolve'? On the other hand, if
the Gov't doesn't change the rules, I suspect that the trial lawyers will.
Either way, I can't see where 'pro builders' are going to help the game, for
the masses.

As usual; just my opinion.

Bill

As the kit planes become more sophisticated the skills required to build
them become more demanding. "Pros" are required to bring their skills to
the
construction. This will ensure safety and enjoyment of these kits for

yea

rs
to come.

The Amateur Built program was never intended nor promised to allow

"Pro's

"
to build and sell aircraft. Period
