Based on the letter that Harry produced for us, I can conlude that, if there is spar corrosion, I can have my A&P manufacture the part, provided we can do proper quality control (i.e. original blueprint info).... I have no idea yet if there is any corrosion on my plane, nor do I know what part or how much a replacement part (if req'd) would cost, I am just doing some research.. Thanks all, Matt N2864H "If a mechanic manufactured parts (e.g., wing ribs) for an owner, associated with a repair,would manufacture of the parts be considered maintenance or production of a part by the owner? Answer: It could be one or the other; in neither case, however, would there necessarily be an FAR violation. If it was concluded that the owner participated in controlling the design, manufacture, or quality of the part, he would be a producer, and the exception in FAR 21.303(b)(2)would apply" _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
