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?


She got her AW certificate under the E-LSA rules not the E-HB rules. In
what was probably an oversight on the FAAs part there is no requirement
for the standard disclaimer to appear.

These rule apply long term to aircraft that are produced from kits that
EXACTLY match an aircraft built under the less stringent (than certified
aircraft) LSA standards. Her particular plane, since it is from a kit
that doesn't exactly match a LSA would not normally qualify. But there
was an exemption to get the fat ultralight into the system that expired
1/31/08 and she got her AW cert under that.

What I don't understand is what she means by being allowed to remove the
warning. The only thing I can think is that she put it on there and they
told her or she found out that it wasn't required.
