The reason we did not go directly to the evaluated kit was that some of our customers especially Carl wanted to be involved at the start of the process and wanted to build ribs and mate everything. That can be done at our facility. I also believed that if you have a kit like Lancair you could not offer any assistance without going over the 51% rule. Interesting enough when Carl and I met with Earl Lawrence of the EAA and Frank Paskowitz the rules guy from the FAA he agreed with our assessment. His belief is that any work over the evaluated kit would constitute non-compliance with the 51% rule. This guys is where they want to take it. Rick
