You've 'seen' nothing 'being performed...,' David. You've read some discussions. That is all. You don't know who is an A&P or who is working under close supervision of an A&P and or IA, under which an owner can do ANYTHING. Please don't presume or assume. And for god's sake, don't act on those assumptions or presumptions. I don't care if you teach aeronautics at MIT, it doesn't qualify you to presume to know under what circumstances the work being performed is being performed. Nor does it qualify to comment on other people's business. For your information, MOST of the work that was done on the Ercoupe that took home most of the hardware at the EOC convention this year was performed by its loving owner, under the supervision of the two BEST Ercoupe A&P/IAs who ever walked the earth. And it was ALL perfectly legal. >Enough preaching, More than enough. >the choice is yours. Right. The choice of how we (within the law) maintain our aircraft *is* ours. Assembling a great long 'dossier' of 'violations' you've 'seen' is not going to endear you to the group. Nor does a single member of the group have to defend his or her actions to YOU. So, David: are you here to learn and contribute, or to give people grief and make them think that someone is out to cause them (uncalled-for) trouble? Decide now. If it's the latter, then maybe we should just ask Tom to unsubscribe you. Greg ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
