I do not disagree with you at all. In fact, I have already someone
invited to take a close look at the airplane, and I'm sure the test
pilot is going to do the same.

But if I read that in the UK you need to apply for a mod if you want to
make a small door on the empty space below your thighs, well, I'm very
glad that we don't have such interference here in the Netherlands. After
all, it is an experimental airplane, there should be some room for
builder modifications, especially if these modifications are unlikely to
affect any flight characteristics.
So, that is what I wanted to say, I'm glad that we Dutchies have some
freedom here for improvements on the airplane.
