Repairs on an Experimental/AB

[RogerT]

I've been in the EXP/AB arena for about 8 years. I've built 2 and owned one
I didn't build. I thought I understood the requirements. Has there been
some changes I'm not aware of?
In this month's Kitplanes there's an article by Amy Laboda about insurance
and accidents/incidents. In this article she states, in the context of an
aircraft that's going to need repairs .. "someone who has purchased an Experimental
but does not have an A&P certificate, will have to go either to an A&P or the
original builder in order to have it repaired".

Huh???? Unless there's a requirement in the Operating Limitations saying
that all repairs must be done by an A&P or Repairman Cert holder, why
would you need to have one repair it? Part 43 doesn't apply to Experimentals.
