I don't have an opinion. I just want to learn. Come back and cast some
more pearls .... Meanwhile, I did find out a couple more semi-official FAA opinions: http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/news/arch...2002/Parts.htm http://150cessna.tripod.com/obrienonownermadeparts.html Again, the gist seems to be that owner made parts have to be based on approved data of some kind. The owner can't just roll his own, no matter how much better it is, without a field approval. "Jim Weir" wrote in message ... Ya know, this has all been great fun, but a huge time sink. I'll take the thread up again next weekend, but I won't waste valuable engineering time with folks who have an honest difference of opinion. Opinion, mine as well as yours, are like assholes...everybody has one and most of them stink. See ya after hours... Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.

And by regs, the installing mechanic is responsible for assuring this to be so. And Jim, I'll be back this weekend when I have more time.....with my "smelly" opinion |
