I am not builder but think I can make these inspections and hopefully enter that no problems found. If problems found I should be able to make repairs, OR get help from my A&P who signs off my annual to help if needed.

As the owner, you can sign off any other repairs or inspections. Hope that helps, Charlie ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:02:15 AM PST US From: Mike Robertson Subject: RE: RV-List: Horz stab and elv hinge SB's On an amateur-built aircraft anybody may do the maintenance but only the bu ilder=2C certificated as a repairman=2C or an A&P may conduct the yearly co ndition inspection (annual). Make sure you check the aircraft's operating limitations (which are supposed to be in the aircraft at all times) to see any restrictions and limitations.

The disassembly and repair involves drilling out a bunch of rivets, some of which will be hard to get to and will require the skillful use of an angle drill. Do yourself a favor and get some experienced/qualified help, if repairs are required. Seems unlikely that a 400hr airplane will have cracks, but it does need to be looked at closely.
