They still have the freedom to go out and buy an experimental that

person that buil

it, as educational/recreational.

Until the regulations are change to allow people to build
airplanes for hire, and not have to be certified, that is the only
way to go, except the

limitations of LSA.

It's not that I don't like the reg or wanting them changed, I just
want to be able to get help on my project if I get to a point where
I think, 'Hey maybe I'm not so confident about doing this part
myself'. I am still thinking about building my own plane, but that
time hasn't yet arrived.

That's no problem. That's sinificantly different from writing a check
and having someone build one for you. The airplanes in that class
usually are available with center sections built and so on, so
there;s no excuse to take it further.

I can see stol's point of view that there are people out there with
more money than brains. *People who pay pros to do their work an
claiming credit for it. *Those people are slimeballs, I agree.

And the more salient point is there are slimeballs out there who will
sell you an airplane that is a deathtrap..

The law is becoming less forgiven of slimeballs.
