As BellRinger says, the HX is far more complex than a microlight at every level - I've flown some and the engineering is pretty basic because it is a homebuild/assisted build..

When we see you potential owners cutting up the pre-preg and operating the autoclave I'll believe it is a 51% build.
There's no pre-preg or autoclave involved.
It's dry carbon done under vaccuum infusion...
