Sabrina 0-200A engine from Sabrina Aircraft Manufacturing

"Gig 601XL Builder" wrote

I did and it is under the (special that ended 1/31/08) E-LSA rules and
I can't find anything to counter that in the rules. As far as I'm
concerned it's a real bad idea from a liability standpoint. I told her
that in an e-mail right after I told her that I thought she was an
amazing young lady.

Yep. Driven, and full of life!

I have a feeling that she is highly supported by her dad, and that they are
not hurting for money, much. ;-)

She must do most of her flying in Canada, so it reads.

There are times like these, that make me want to see some flexibility in the
age rules for getting your ticket. It sure would seem like she is ready for
an FAA one.

I don't get this statement:

As an aircraft manufacturer, Sabrina's most exciting moment was "When
I was allowed to remove the 'Built by an Amateur' FAA passenger
Warning label."

Can someone explain?

She got her AW certificate under the E-LSA rules not the E-HB rules. In
what was probably an oversight on the FAAs part there is no requirement
for the standard disclaimer to appear.

These rule apply long term to aircraft that are produced from kits that
EXACTLY match an aircraft built under the less stringent (than certified
aircraft) LSA standards. Her particular plane, since it is from a kit
that doesn't exactly match a LSA would not normally qualify. But there
was an exemption to get the fat ultralight into the system that expired
1/31/08 and she got her AW cert under that.

What I don't understand is what she means by being allowed to remove the
warning. The only thing I can think is that she put it on there and they
told her or she found out that it wasn't required.

Follow the link to the four YouTube videos for more of the story. Seems to
be an impressive accomplishment for a 14 year old.

My guess is that Sabrina Spacecraft Manufacturing will have interplanetary
spaceships available in a decade or two.

What a refreshing story. Wish I was like that at her age. You go
girl!

Guess I forgot the winking emoticon.

Or were you questioning something else?

Just wondered what her plans are to go to Mars? (Interplanetary)

Beats me. Sounds like she is keeping them secret. It's her goal and dream,
so I'm sure she'll do her best.

When I was about her age I had plans along those lines too. My oldest
brother had a copy of "The Mars Project" by Wernher Von Braun and "Rocket
Manual for Amateurs" by Bertrand Brinley. I had checked out "Project
Sherwood - The U.S. Program in Controlled Fusion" by Amasa Bishop from the
library. With ideas from those references I drew plans for a fusion powered
spacecraft about the size of a small van. (The stellarator "donut" was
between the fuel tank and rocket engines. I had no clue of course about how
most of it was going to work!)

Four decades of reality later I wish her the best of luck.

We're almost there. WB-7 had first plasma a couple of weeks ago.

Anybody have her email addy or more information on the spacecraft
claim? Someone added a wikipedia piece at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...ldid=191567543
. I'm not sure how confident I am in the claim that she will make her
own spacecraft by 2018, especially after reading some of the comments
here regarding her not actually designing the aircraft. I don't want
to cast any doubt on her abilities, but intelligent or not, it's hard
to believe she'll fly to mars in a craft of her own design by age 24.

I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
