Jake,
At the moment, all the above items would be allowed by AMA BOM rule, if, IF those items existed within "the average kit." Oh, but also provided you spend more than a "few minutes of unskilled effort" toward final assembly. So maybe a few minutes of very skilled effort would be perfectly legal, or perhaps many minutes of very, very, very unskilled effort would also be legal. (sarc., but serious.)

Or does "average kit" merely mean average price? Because the first kit vendor who put a pre-framed P30 wing in a kit was not "average" at that point. Indoor needs to become different from all the above, obviously.
