Anybody else notice the complete absence of the words "Homebuilt" in the
latest article about Sport Pilot on the EAA website
http://www.airventure.org/2003/friaug1/sport_pilot.html.

I have to wonder if the only "approved" airplanes will be commercially
manufactured ones.

As I recall I recently read in one of the aviation mags that *only*
factory built airplanes would qualify. Even if you had a kit version
of a manufactured airplane it wouldn't qualify.

The problem is I don't remember which mag other than it wasn't Sport
Aviation. "I think" it may have been either the AOPA Journal, or
Flying and "I think" it was within the last three months.
