| Subject: | Re: Homebuilt maintenance |
Dennis...... First of all, I have no idea why the mechanic can't work
on the airplane. I think the idiot mechanic is simply ignorant of the
rules with respect to his insurance. As far a cylinder work, I've always
done the work but with an A&P's blessing. Sometimes they really know
quite a bit about some details that I could have easily overlooked. But
I tighten the bolts/nuts etc etc. I make sure everything is tidy and the
way it should be. If there is paperwork to do, I let the A&P guy do the
deed.
When I fly over the big rocks out there, I like to know that someone
else didn't forget something. If I do it, then it's my problem.
I'm sure I didn't answer your question but that's the way I interpret
the rules.
