i just bought a 20 Year old renegade that rotted away at a tie down for 20 years. this project was purchased by a man who striped the plane down its basic components and began a TOTAL Re- build. After 3 years he decided he didn't want another project and sold the trailer full of parts and pieces to me.
My goal is to restore the plane and " Since it meets the specifacations of LSA" i intend to fly it as such
My question is that , assuming it was properly registered as an experimental "kit built" aircraft not fast build kit albeit 20 years ago, how do I document that the work that I am providing is the same as building a ' fast build' and should easily qualify under the " 51% rule" Where do I start on this search for the "HOLY GRAIL" ( LSA legality)
This will likely be a looooong thread...
thanks
