I recently asked about buying vs. having an aircraft built not fully realizing the rules and regulations preventing someone from building an aircraft on your behalf (thanks to everyone for their replies).
Here's a similar question (sort of). I've seen a few partially completed kits for sale lately--both RV-8 quickbuilds. Reading Van's web site, it implies that the quickbuild kit is real close to the 51% rule. If I pursue a partially completed kit (one finished beyond 51%), how will the rules affect me and my ability to finish/register/fly the airplane and will i be able to perform maintenance on it as the builder once completed?
Thanks again,
Mike
