Hello all,
I would like to take the repairmans certificate course (16 hour) to be able to inspect an airplane I purchased. I see that some of the places that offer the course say it's not applicable for Experimental Amateur Built aircraft. My airplane is not Experimental light sport as it was built before light sport was even a thing. It does comply in every way for light sport.
I ask because it's hard to find A&P's willing to inspect my bird. They are used to certified aircraft. They don't know a 2 stroke engines, they don't know what to do without published AD's and are expecting to get paid a couple thousand bucks for the chore. My bird is simple and easy to maintain and inspect, which is why I like it, less to go wrong.
What is a guy to do with an older experimental airplane that he didn't build to stay legal and do the right thing?
Thanks!
