If any of you have access to a friendly lawyer, not one that owns a kit
company, have them read the new proposed order highlights that Carl has
given you.  I believe the lawyer will tell you that the FAA has given
themselves more power than the old order did.

Rick,

 

Thanks a lot for bringing this to a head.  Contact a Lawyer?  Never.

 

Builders, talk to your DAR, EAA and the FAA - Do not contact a lawyer because that will not get your airworthiness certificate.  Neither will the judge that will rule that you owe fees in excess of what you thought the the cost of flying would be.

 

Rick, you contact a lawyer who should tell you that you got your cart before the horse.  Right now, this is your problem - you are clever, solve it.

 

Darn, And I said I was through with this silly topic.
