An Experimental AB airplane doesn't require a logbook entries at all for any maintenance done. I do think (may be wrong tho) major alterations and annual condition inspections have to be recorded in order for it to maintain airworthiness. Since you (the owner/op) are responsible for maintaining the a/c in airworthy condition, you probably can be popped by FnAA for neglecting this. > Not sure about all this tho. > > 2.

Looks like anyone can replace the ELT batteries, but only whoever has the authority to do the condition inspection on an EAB plane can inspect it and make the logbook entry in the last 12 mos.

I suddenly could not maintain RPM and it was running very rough. I was close to the field at the time and just came back in. I checked the plugs out tonight and one was bridged. I replaced both plugs with new ones and the 503 is running like Swiss watch again. I think that I may have done an inadvisable thing when I tuned the Kolb this spring. I put on new wires with suppression caps, AND I used resistor plugs. I just read tonight in the CPS catalog, under maintenance tips, Part 9, page 20, that using both suppression caps and resistor together is a bad idea. I will replace my plugs with non-resistor plugs and keep a close eye on them. Also, I believe that I read somewhere that the plugs should be replaced every 25 hours. I had 30 hours on the fouled plug. Shame on me! This event also showed me the extra level of safety that a dual ignition would bring to the table. Food for thought. I still love this little airplane !

This is no different than advertising that you are driving a vehicle without plates, only this is at the federal level, not the state level. A bit more serious than you think and not funny.
