I do sympathize with that, except it seems that there's a high % of
posts here re fuel problems and resultant builder mods and even
"un-mods." Unlike other kitplane email lists I've browsed.
Actually, there's very little in U.S. Regs. that are not sound design
practice. The certification costs arise in demonstration of
compliance and excess regulation of domestic parts mfr's, unless
you're Boeing, where they essentially certify it themselves and even
buy some parts from the People's Republic of China!
