I'm sure it will. That's one of the reasons I was a bit in a hurry to
get the airplane finished. ;-) They used EASA to force us to invest in
mode-S transponders which we are not allowed to use, and useless ELT's.
I'm sure that in the near future homebuilding will be restricted to
whatever limitations EASA will come up with. I'm trusting however that
once an airplane is registered that they are not just taking that away
again. And even that of course is not for sure.
