I'm confused about the maintenance and annuals on an experimental I purchase.

"The problem is that from his perspective, the repairs I'm proposing are not "by the book" (i.e. AC43-13). He said, in part, [I]"Since it is a non-standard approach and a major repair, I need you to demonstrate how it effects a repair back to the original plane's specifications without change to the flight characteristics..."

There is no such thing as a "major repair" (as defined in part 43) on a homebuilt.



Good luck Dana but I don't see this turning out positive. I'd get another A&P to do the inspection.
