If ones orders the quick build wing kit and or the pre-fab bracket kit, would this not allow the plane to be classified as amateur built and not qualify for an experimental rating?

even with the wing kit prebuilt, the factory hasn't built 49%. That would be a fair question for the factory. Certainly they have dealt with the FAA regarding how much of the build they can finish before they encroach on the 49%.
Thank you, I will send them an e-mail about it.Quote:

Awesome, thank you. I wish I had a space to build, I would order asap, but got to figure that out first lolQuote:
