FAA Amateur-Built Aircraft Policy Revision

[Ron Lee]

Part of which states: "The FAA is proposing that an amateur builder fabricate a minimum of 20 percent of an aircraft and assemble a minimum of 20 percent of the aircraft. The FAA also clarifies the role of commercial assistance, which includes both the pre-fabrication of parts and direct assistance to the builder, as part of the remaining 49 percent (manufacturer and commercial assistance)."

How does this impact RV kits as currently marketed, especially the quick builds?
