Jeff, I disagree. NEVER heard anyone say they had trouble getting A&P to do
MX or annual condition inspection. Whoever said that needs to qualify thier
statement. I am sure the shop at Bessemer would do it. Don't let that deter u.
The homebuilts are growing rapidly and for the most part I feel are better built
than some spam cans.

Doug

I think the stories heard about dificulty getting annuals may stem from
automotive conversions that are used for powerplants. If I were an A&P, I'd
be reluctant to sign off an auto conversion because I probably wouldn't know
enough about it. If the homebuilt has an aircraft type engine, then getting
an annual shouldn't be a problem at all.
The same issue applies to repairs needed out in the field. A reason I chose
not to go the auto conversion route with my RV-7. If you get stuck out
somewhere with an engine problem, you're on your own, and had better have
some tools - unless of course you happen to make an emergency landing near
the appropriate auto service shop!
Personally, I have nothoing against auto conversions that are done properly
(Eggenfellner Subaru). I'm not a big fan of spending mega cash on
prehistoric engineering, but the above reasons were enough to make me part
with my pallet of cash.
