that is what should have happened to stay legal for the past twenty
years or more,

That was my thinking too. But supposedly after a couple of years the
FAA will not allow 'Fat' ultralights to be re-certified. Two
obvious questions being how would the FAA know what the homebuilder
started with when he started (re) building it. How would, (and
why would) the FAA distinguish between a rebuilt 'Fat" UL and
a scratch-built knock off of a 'Fat' UL? Voluntary compliance
I would suppose.

what they would like,, as a punishment for past violations of 103 that
went unpunished,,,,,,,
maybe is that we all lose a lot of money when the 'time is up' for
registering under the severly flawed sprot pile it plane rules,,,,,,,


but I like you, feel that there is NO WAY to stop anyone from
constructing a plane using any parts from where ever, fat ul or the
kitchen door, and calling it a plane, asking for and getting an N
number,

If stephenson can get a business going using the stupid rules he helped
write more power to him,

bigtime Pols and their near criminal partners do it every day using
government funds, etc

I could just as easily start a business where I buy and sell the 'lawn
ornaments' and sell them back for the purchase price and a buck, they
then have a clear title to the newly purchased kit, with the papertrail
totally OK for the homebuilt rule paperwork,,,,,,,,,

Pols write laws and leave loopholes all the time, then squeak inbetween
them charging you and I lots of money to get out of a jam,

no reason we can't do the same,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
