Does anyone know of an article about
a checklist for the 51% rule? I
remember reading the article and
would like to find the website to
download it. If I remember, it was
a checklist of what parts and
components would be built to be
considered 51%. For example, if you
start a kit but do not quite get to
the same point as a quick build of
the same plane, what percentage
have you built?


I believe that the "official" checklist is FAA form 8000-38; you can
find an example of this form buried in FAA Order 8130.2. Here's a huge
link to a huge .pdf file containing 8130.2; the example of 8000-38
starts on page 197 of 285:

Over the last few years I've collected a few examples of how form
8000-38 was filled out so as to demonstrate "major portion"
eligibility.

Thanks, and best regards to all
