Hi gang -
Well it looks like a reasonably priced overhaul or rebuild of your mags has gone
down the tubes. You can thank your FAA for that. In order to rebuild and certify
aircraft parts the requirements for a shop are intolerable. My cousin
would do the best job you could pay for but he would have to completely change
his shop setup. The OH shop would have to be contained in it's own separate
environment and all parts would have to have cetification and be kept separate
from any non-certified parts and hardware - this includes screws, washers, etc.
I agree with him that this is too much trouble to go to for a part time activity.
Given the necessary changes, etc. it wouldn't pencil out for the consumer.
He would have to charge the same as any shop. We haven't even addressed
the insurance requirements. Sorry to get your hopes up. On the other hand,
if the owner didn't care about an 8313 or whatever it is, it might be a different
story.

Jim,
First and foremost, certification is only required for "certified" airplanes.
Last I checked the RV3 and rocket are "experimental". You can rebuild your mags
or have them rebuilt by anyone who knows what they are doing as long as it
is used on an experimental application and you keep your engine experimental.
I run one Bendix mag and one Rose electronic ignition. My mag was rebuilt by
a reputable airboat engine shop near me who also built my custom 0-320. They
used all new parts and it works better now than ever. There are no yellow tags
anywhere to be found and I like it that way...If you would like one rebuilt,
email me off line.
my 2 pennies...

Thanks Rob -
What started this was me shooting off my mouth about what a great A&P my cousin
is and I would see if he wanted to do this part time (he's retired) for the listers.
He is a good A&P, but he is only concerned about the engines that are
to stay certified. He doesn't want to be involved in the litigation arising
from a crash. Generally the estate (if there is a fatality) will sue everyone
the blood-sucking lawyers can think of (if this offends litigation lawyers it's
o.k. by me). My cousin would rather not be one of the sue-ees (no pun intended
- just worked out that way - lol).
