I know of no such quality Builder Assist program in connection with ex
VAN's employees or a similar Factory Assistance Program at Aurora.
Starting in 1998 I built a GlaStar in my garage, taking 3 1/2 years. At that time there was no factory support and indeed the factory went into bankrupcy while I was building. Today however the New GlaStar company is strong and has a great builder's shop in Arlington WA. They have improved the quality of the build, perhaps made the aircraft safer (I might have avoided 2 fires in the cockpit had I used the program), and certainly got more aircraft flying by the initial builders instead of someone who bought the partially finished kit second hand. I believe builders' assistance shops are a good resource for today's sophisticated designs. Robert M. Simon, ES-P N301ES
