Subject: Re: FAA Trying to stop us all?

I'm not at liberty to say my source, but the FAA is indeed going to start c=
racking down on some of the building practices.  They will not effect most =
of us, but there is a big red flag raised when Epic announced their jet.  T=
he reason the EAA isn't making a big deal of the memo is because they are b=
eing kept informed as to what's going on.   The EAA is our voice.  When the=
y recommend we get concerned then we should do so.  The FAA also recognizes=
 that getting assistance from an experienced builder makes the airplane saf=
er.  They also recognize the fact that there are a bunch of us killing ours=
elves needlessly, and are looking at ways to "help".  We don't need that ki=
nd of help guys.  Safety is what drives the policies, and if we become safe=
r there will be less invoked policies.  Keep in mind that these people at t=
he FAA that make the desicions that effect us are not part of our experimen=
tal aircraft group.=20=20
