Re: 51% Rule
The Panther doesn't seem to be on the FAA list yet. How does that work? Could be an issue to build in Canada, since they use that list for approval.

Re: 51% Rule
Dan,
That certification requires a factory visit by a team from the FAA. Lacking that, it's up to the builder to convince the FAA inspector/DAR. If a quick-build RV-X or Sonex (yes, there's now a QB Sonex) meets the requirement, a Panther sure as heck will.

51% Rule
I am sure that the Panther qualifies for the 51% rule. Is that qualification documented anywhere so the builder can feel confident that he or she will not have a problem when going for the pink slip.
