Your Operation Limitations will specify what to do. If they have the more
recent wording, it will require going back into Phase 1 for 5 or so hours
after a major alteration. Some very old ones required a reinspection by the
Feds and they specified the test time. You have to go my the wording of your
own Ops Limitations. If too onerous I suppose you could try to get them
changed. I haven't heard of an Amateur Built doing that but the Exhibition
types have done it.

Subject: If I re-pitch the prop.....
I am considering re-pitching the prop on my RV9. If I do, this changes the
"approved engine-prop" combination approved by the FAA when the plane was
certified. Do I now have to fly off 40 hours of test time with this new
engine - prop combination?
