Actually, it is irrelevant. EAA type flyers must meet all relevant FAA regulations. They don't need a CBO for that. The EAA provides other services to promote recreational and experimental full scale aviation and home built type full scale aircraft.

The CBO concept was invented solely for section 336 to describe a generic entity for model aviation. It is the responsibility of the AMA to fill the role of a CBO in order to satisfy the intent of section 336.
