In one case, a Sabrina O-200A: http://sabrina.aero/ It's too bad the website doesn't give more info on the building of the engine. Tony I'm impressed and all that this girl built this plane and I haven't really followed this thread but how does she say it isn't a Zenith. Sure she made a major modification to the panel but come on. And how in the hell does she make this claim. I believe the model name is within the bounds of the rules - I think I've seen other homebuilders do the same with little or no design changes. As you know, I believe she has to record herself as the manufacturer because Zenith didn't build the plane. "As an aircraft manufacture, Sabrina's most exciting moment was, "When I was allowed to remove the 'Built by an Amateur' FAA passenger Warning Label." That last is a good question. I started this thread when I ran across a posting from her on Matronic's Zenith list and followed the link she posted to her web site. I believe you subscribe to that list (I don't anymore - just read some of the postings now and then via the public access web page) so you might consider politely asking her via direct e-mail. Looks like she subscribed to the Matronics list within the last week and already is moderately active. |

Yea but changing the model name and one of the comments on the very limited website makes it sound like she wants you to think she redesigned the plane. That said she did make one hell of a redesign on the panel.

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. |

Shure glad she is from Chicago area. It will knock out a little wind out of Mayor Daily's mad campaign against GA. Now he is against budding youth accomplishments.

My guess is that Sabrina Spacecraft Manufacturing will have interplanetary spaceships available in a decade or two. Met her at OSH last year at the Young Eagles awards ceremony. Sharp kid for sure with many supporters... |

I was wondering that same thing!

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? -- They that die by famine die by inches. ~ Matthew Henry |

Gig mentions how she seems to have done this in a post elsewhere on this thread. As best I can tell, she used the E-LSA rules that ended on Jan 31 of this year that allowed illegal "fat ultralights" to be registered under that status. Note that her plane is still considered experimental, but it seems there is no "amateur built" in the FAA's designation (EAB vs ELSA). I suspect it has pretty much the same operating limitations. Bottom line is it doesn't seem to mean much. |

(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. |

Follow the link to the four YouTube videos for more of the story. Seems to
be an impressive accomplishment for a 14 year old. IMHO building an aircraft is an impressive accomplishment for any human being -- but at 14 and a girl to boot it's really over the top. I have never heard of something like that. It didn't seem like her parents were pushing her on it, either. She's just really motivated. The youtube video is cool -- can one be a certified pilot in Canada at 14 or is that a reporting error? I hope her story will inspire other young girls (and boys) to do cool stuff in aviation. |

According to Canadian regs, she'd have to be at least 14 to get a student pilot permit: http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Re...421.htm#421_19 This page has links to the minimum qualifications in Canada for the various permits and certificates: http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/ge...sonnel/faq.htm |
