They are significantly re-writing the rules of the market in favor of
the production aircrafters. or they are not.

Which is it?


They are not.

The amateur experimental was never written for any "market" it was
written so guys could build their own airplanes. That was what George
Bogardus and the EAA pioneers campaigned for. Not for someone to sell
airfix kits.

Like this, for instance.

I got no problem with anyone building something like this, but if it's
not amateur built, it;'s not amateur built. That was the concession
granted away back in the forties. It was never intended to be a loophole
to get around certification.
