That is the answer that I got from the FAA.
FAA rep told me that my 9 year old son could repair and sign off.
That's crazy!

Nope, that's why their called "experimentals."


The way I read the FAR's (and my instructors at A&P school agreed) that the
builder or an A&P had to do the work or inspection, other than an annual.

Did you miss the sentence in 43.1

(b) This part does not apply to any aircraft for which an experimental airworthiness certificate
has been issued, unless a different kind of airworthiness certificate had previously been
issued for that aircraft.

The rest of Part 43 DOES NOT APPLY.
