GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The S-21 Outbound is a 51% FAA approved kit. Some inspectors may still require a
build log, therefore it is recommended to keep a build log. A build log can be as simple
as photos of the kits' assembly throughout the process or using one of the many on-line
offers. As the builder of the S-21 OUTBOUND kit, you are considered the manufacturer
by law. The rules state that you must build 51% of the total. In essence, we are your
parts supplier. You have the final say concerning every single item that goes into your
project. The responsibility of making a safe aircraft is on your shoulders. It is by your
hand this box of parts becomes an aircraft. Set up your quality assurance and
construction activity according to the level of risk you are willing to take. The manual
provided is to be thought of as a suggested guidebook.
Use the book, but learn to think things through. This will minimize errors
and reduce build time.
