The company had each of the kits it currently offers, the Super Cub Replica, Super Cruiser, Mackey SQ2, & the Mackey SQ4 evaluated. The Aviation Safety Inspectors determined that all four kits meet the major portion requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations part 21, Certification Procedures for Products, Articles and Parts, § 21.191(g). The kits where officially added to the FAA's listing of Amateur-Built aircraft that comply with the 51% rule on December 30.
