One of my Pet peeves is when you have an older aircraft and try to make it better (let's say put a better brake system on a Taylorcraft, etc.) it takes piles of paperwork and approvals (even if you happen to get it approved). Meanwhile Johnny Teenager can put oversize tires on his pickup, jack it up and make all kinds of 'modifications' with no paperwork or approval. There's something wrong with this picture.

I just love bragging about this😆

Move to Canada, we have a category called Owner Maintenance.

For all intents and purposes makes older out of production airplanes homebuilt.

With very few exceptions.

My Grumman Cheetah is OM and it sure ain't your daddies Cheetah any more.
