Default Sabrina 0-200A engine from Sabrina Aircraft Manufacturing

I don't get this statement:

As an aircraft manufacturer, Sabrina's most exciting moment was "When
I was allowed to remove the 'Built by an Amateur' FAA passenger
Warning label."

Can someone explain?


Gig mentions how she seems to have done this in a post elsewhere on this
thread. As best I can tell, she used the E-LSA rules that ended on Jan 31
of this year that allowed illegal "fat ultralights" to be registered under
that status. Note that her plane is still considered experimental, but it
seems there is no "amateur built" in the FAA's designation (EAB vs ELSA). I
suspect it has pretty much the same operating limitations. Bottom line is
it doesn't seem to mean much.
