Not even non-commercial Part 91 type certificated aircraft have to comply with "mandatory" service bulletins. I could see conditioning approval on compliance with any applicable ADs. How would you handle an aircraft with a Parker Hannifin Airborne vacuum pump, since the company says all are beyond service life and should be removed?

He told me (once when I signed a liability release) that a person can't sign away their rights. Now at the risk of starting another argument, I don't know if that is true or not, but as he said it is all about what a lawyer can convince a jury of. Liability is a very subjective perception. I personally know someone, (very skilled craftsman also) who chopped up his last experimental aircraft after he was done with it rather than risk any post-sale liability. I would hate to see that become a trend but the truth is that anyone can sue anyone else for anything and depending on the lawyer's skill can win.

Eastern Daylight Time, mrobert569@hotmail.com writes: Per a ruling from HQ in 1998 ADs are applicable but because not everyone is guaranteed to get them we can't enforce the requirement. Where you may still have problems, however, is with your insurance company. Not all, but some, have gotten wise to the lack of a requirement for complying with ADs and have included a little statement that the aircraft must be kept in a condition for safe operation whenever the aircraft is operated. I would suggest you talk with your insurance agent but as far as the FAA is concerned, you are safe if you don't want to comply with an AD. Mike Robertson Das Fed Again; who decides what is applicable and what is safe and is not. Most people I've met think flying small planes is dangerous and they think flying an "experimental" aircraft is insane. Just by the arguments going back and forth inside this group, imagine this being tossed around in a court room. Insurance requirements such as that are no doubt standard caveat wording for them to find a way not to pay IMHO. Jim do not archive **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

You do NOT need to put your SSN as long as you follow all the other parts of what constitutes a log entry per FAR 43.9. This requirement for log entries is NOT one of the ones not required for experimental aircraft.

Similar format when doing any maintenance such as replacing tires, battery, oil change etc. Of course, the entries go into the respective engine or airframe logs. Oh yeah, you should have a prop log too! Now you can be difficult and just keep notes on a lined pad instead of a standard logbook and be legal ...... but explain that method of record keeping to a prospective buyer.

I get it at a chain of discount grocery stores on the west coast. It looks and smells like Windex but I don't think it is the same. I have used it full strength as a non flammable parts wash and cut about 50/50 with water on painted surfaces with no ill effect. I would have no problem using it on fiberglass. ACS or Sporty's might have something similar if you don't find a Smart and Final in your area. A janitorial supply might also be a good bet.

I used one of the aerosol spray products used for oil based stain removal from clothing. Spray it on the oil area and let it dry. It will absorb the oil and even draw out the oil from the raw fiberglass. Buy it in the laundry products isle at the super market.
