Hi Vern, I'm O/M Coupe # 3.5 The paperwork's not finished yet. You're wrong about the no regulation in O/M. All the work has to be done to acceptable aviation standards. And guess what? The bible for that, according to Transport Canada is the FAA's very own AC43.13-1b. When you talk about buying a pig in a poke, you must realize that all O/M a/c must have what we call the 6X's. That is an X must be stamped, etched, engraved, whatever, on the data plate after the model number and the serial number of the a/c, on the engine id plate after the model and the serial numbers and on the propeller after the model and serial numbers. Now granted you can be sold something that is not what it's supposed to be but that can happen with anything if the seller has no scruples, be it an airplane or a used car. (no! don't tell me car dealers are dishonest!) And finally, after it's all finished, Transport will inspect it just as a homebuilt a/c. So maybe we can't use American airspace yet. That's just a matter of paperwork between our governments just as experimental aircraft were. What we're doing is putting old airplanes back into the air instead of turning them into pop cans. And sometimes better than new. I've seen the work that Cessna did on the C140's. I've seen the work on my 'coupe that the factory did. My work is better. Ask the AME (that's Canadian for AP/AI) that's working with me. Good tailwinds to to ya'all Bob Taylor ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
