Folks,
In cleaning up my bench, I find I have two McMaster-Carr "Weldable Concealed
Hinges" part number 110205A35 I had intended to use for my oil door. They
are yours for the freight to send them to you. They each have two rivet
holes already drilled in each side of the hinge.

Ok, my understanding is that once the aircraft has an airworthiness
certificate not just ANYONE can do the work. They have to be a
certificated
person signing the work, builder with his repairman certificate, A&P or
preventative maintenance which a pilot's certificate will cover.
Experimental only have relief from approved parts and Ads but other than
that your ops specs will tell you to maintain like it was a 91 airplane
with
exception to: "condition being used" instead of annual. There is a
misconception that we can do "whatever we want" to our planes but that
is
not the case. Small items are logbook entries only but anything that
constitutes a major change in FAR 21.93 the owner must recomply with FAR
91.319(b) which puts the aircraft back into phase 1 flight testing. If
anyone has dealings with the feds like I do on a REGULAR bases (part
135/145) you should see a similar testament.
As far as part 43.9 here is what the FAR says:
If the work performed on the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine,
propeller,
appliance, or component part has been performed satisfactorily, the
signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the
person
approving the work. The signature constitutes the approval for return to
service only for the work performed.
There you have it.

========================
Nope, take a look at the first paragraph or so of FAR 43; it doesn't apply
to aircraft with experimental airworthiness certificates.
In regards to Experimental aircraft, FAR 43 applies only as stated in the op
lims of the particular aircraft.
Anyone may legally do *any* work on an experimental aircraft (only exception
is pitot-static certs), repairman's certificate or A&P are only needed for
condition inspection.

Part 43 applies to certificated aircraft, which our homebuilts aren't.
As a homebuilder, you can completely ignore part 43 and build your
airplane any way you want. All you have to do is convince the DAR that
the 'contraption' won't kill you or anyone on the ground.
There is something, somewhere, that says after any major alteration
(undefined, in this case) then it must be inspected (DAR again) and the
plane put back into phase 1 testing.
As to the repairmans certificate .... if you have the certificate FOR
THAT ONE PARTICULAR PLANE then you can do the conditional inspection.
Otherwise, any A&P (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AN AI) can perform that
inspection and sign it off.

Michael, Your understanding is not correct. ANYONE, even a three year
old child, can do maintenance on an experimental aircraft. The only
thing requiring a 'certificate' is for the annual condition inspection.
Major changes, as you point out, do require a return to phase 1
operation in accordance with your operating limitations. The older
restrictions would require prior approval but the newer ones just
require the log book entry after satisfactory operation for the
(typical) 5-hours of phase 1 operation.
As to ADs - if there is an AD on a specific part that you have in your
plane, say a propeller or a starter, etc, then the ADs do apply. Oher
than that unless the AD is specifically aimed at you exact aircraft,
ADs do not apply with the exception pointed above.
A pilot's certificate doesn't specifically cover or grant any authority
regarding maintenance on an experimental aircraft. Again, your 3-year
kid can do the work. The possession of a pilot's license is not a
factor.
But on an experimental aircraft you CAN "do anything you want" - only
comply with your operating limitations, and make the required log book
entries, if any.

Well, guys I just read my Operation limitations and it says "This
aircraft
MUST be maintained in accordance with the requirements of title 14, code
of
federal regulations, Part 43." So much for part 43 not applying to me...
Does any one else have this statement in there op limitations? I new my
understanding came from my local FSDO when the Operation Limitations
were
cut. Any thoughts?

Thanks Mike,
I have downloaded a bunch of the FAR's for documentation in my computer.
So....until I get the repairman's cert (and afterwards - except for
annuals)
I can sign it off as 'builder'.
Ralph
4.7 hrs - working off a couple of minor bugs.....

have the transponder stuff done in conjunction with pitot/static checks.
