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.
