I'm really not sure what your problem is. Many experimental builders overhaul their engine and accessories. Most with no prior experience. Which is better, someone that has never worked on a mag or someone who has many years of experience building the same thing for a different application? I guess mechanics that worked on 290G generators wouldn't have a clue on how to change a cylinder on a 290 in an airplane.
Or is it that you think amateur built shouldn't be allowed and everybody should buy and maintain certified?
Now I'm starting to understand where you're coming from. Next time you fly Young Eagles, put up a sign with that on it.
