Why not just change the required builder contribution in the Amateur-Built Category?
The 51% Rule is the bedrock premise on which the Amateur-Built Category rests. If the factory or a commercial builder is allowed to complete more than 49% of an aircraft project, it’s no longer an “amateur-built” aircraft — rather, it’s a commercially built aircraft, built with some assistance (maybe) from an amateur builder. The FAA has underscored this position repeatedly and has asserted that commercially built aircraft do not belong in the Amateur-Built Category.
