FAA 51% Checklist

[bkthomps]

Does anyone have a sample 51% checklist for a RV-7?

I noticed there are ones published for the RV14/14A that give you a head start, but on a slow build RV-7, has anyone got one of these filled out that I can reference?

On the front page of the plans binder there is a copy of a letter from the FAA to Vans Aircraft stating that the kit meets the 51% rule. They don't call it the 51% rule, instead they reference the specific FAR, but thats what it's talking about. Is there something else required?

What do you need to reference it for? You don't need to do anything with that checklist. It's for the kit manufacturer to show the FAA that the kit meets the 51% rule. The builder normally doesn't need to do anything else.

A builder is required to use the checklist if he uses commercial assistance in building his approved kit.
