Hey, cool!
And that's Texas-based Bobby "Luke" Lucroy in his RV-8A on page 42. Go Falcon Flight!
Never heard of anyone building an RV from “plans only”...
I’m pretty sure ALL the kits come “pre-drilled”..
When he spoke of 49% kits, I think he meant the Quickbuild” kits, which come with most of the airframe components built for you.....
He states that he does his own annual inspections , “which is legal for
homebuilts”! Unless he is the builder/ manufacturer of the plane, it is not legal.
( The author stated earlier that he “purchased the RV)....

You must have come to the game late. When I built my first 2 RV-6s in the 1989-1993 time frame, the kits came with "no holes". Not even lightening holes.
Pre-punched kits came later.
Sorry, did not realize the author lived in Canada. My bad!
It's a Canadian magazine, eh...
In Canada the owner of the Amateur-Built Aircraft (we don't have homebuilts in Canada) can perform all maintenance and sign off the annual inspection. It's not required, some who buy a completed Amateur-Built take it to a mechanic for its annual inspection.
