Isn't this the same problem that the sonex builder
had putting in the corvair engine?
His is flying.

If you build his designed airplane without buying his plans, he has a claim
against you for copyright infringement. That would be his claim against
you. Once he sells you the plans, you can build an airplane. If you do
something that is contrary to his plans, he can refuse to support you - but
he has no other claim.

You are building an experimental aircraft. Experimental aircraft are
experimental.

In fact, if he communicates to the FAA that your airplane is unsafe because
it does not use the engine he has specified and the FAA acts upon that to
deny you an experimental license, you would have a legal claim against him.

We have one (Sonex) on the field getting a VW engine and no one's
complained about that so far.

It isn't me, building. It is Mr. Christley, and he is building a Dyke
Delta.

Here is a hope page of one of the Dyke Delta's builders.

No, you are building a Christley delta that somewhat resembles the Dyke
Delta.

Has there ever, in the history of mankind, been a "plans built" homebuilt
that exactly followed the plans?

There must have been, somewhere. But I never saw it. :-)
