Bob, I understand ALL ABOUT the law but the comments that I was refering to was the comment about "if you want to do your own repair than call it an expiremental and dont fly over my house" that kind of assinine comment is probably from someone that doesnt know what a end wrench is. I wasnt refering to legality of working on your own plane with your own idea of repair techniques just the narrow sided point of view that was displayed by the thought process that the airplane cannot be built safely other than through the FAA certificated process which is factually disputeable. In fact there are great advancements in avaition through the expiremental process that should have taken place years ago if the FAA hadnt had their lead shoes on so tight. I do not want anyone to mistake my content I do no promote illegal unapproved repairs at anytime even if it were a better option,and have not or will not do them on my certificated plane, which is why I am in the middle of building my third homebuilt, and have plans for an expiremental ercoupe whan this Avid Flyer is done, But I do appreciate your concern and thanx for your comments.
