Hi Lowell,
What are my qualifications?
Not being a smart ass here, but just trying to give you my background.
Flying since 1980, started with Ultralights, did all my own maint and did research
and development for several Ultralight Mfgs and third party add on Mfg's.
Flew Gyros for 4 years, then went to helicopters for 6 years then back to fixed
wing. Over 4500 hours of flight time, plus maint, development and research for
numerous Mfg's. After 7-8 Rotax schools over the years I am currently an authorized
Rotax Repair Center. You can call Jeremy at CPS and see what he says about
my credentials. I am a LSA repairman with a maint. rating and currently have
people fly in to me from 6 different states so I can do their maint on their
LSA's and Rotax engines. They bypass all their A&P's for a reason and think
the trip to me out weighs any mileage issues. I have people from all over the
country call me everyday and some from around the world. I write some articles
on different websites and help people with issues on at least 5 aircraft websites.
I work on several types LSA so I have a very rounded education on LSA
aircraft and converse with people who are on the LSA committees and who administer
the LSA rules. If you need references I have 40-50 I can give you including
Mfg's. There's more, but I hope this enough to put your mind at ease.
The right way is what is in the Rotax manuals, SB's or taught in Rotax school.
Any thing other than that is wrong and there is no way to argue against what's
in the Rotax or aircraft manual's. They are your bible's
from the Mfg's. If you do something other that what's in the manual then it is
wrong. Really no way to argue against that other than someone saying I'm just
going to do it my way and I don't care what the manual says. Then by all means
have at it, I just try to help people do what is right and written in the manual
and from almost 30 years of experience and try to keep people from making
costly mistakes.
By the way keep you eyes open for the Dec. 13th release of new and revamped LSA
rules and regs.
Fly safe, fly far, have fun!
