FAR Question

But my question is, if we want to make our own instead of buying them, do
we
need to get an STC?

Subject to confirmation, I believe there is a loophole in the FAR's that let
the owner/operator of a certified aircraft make parts for that aircraft.
However, those parts must be installed by an A&P and suitable logbook
entries made.

Take a look at:

and see if you can get any of those ideas to work for you.

Great article Tim...

Looks like that pretty well answered my questions, and it even had
references!

After reading that, it sounds like that the owner of the glider can have the
part made under the glider owners supervision, and I , as an A&P, can
install the part with just a logbook entry.

Thanks a million!
You guys are great!

Uh, I think that if you build the part yourself, you must have an original
to use as a pattern or the engineering plans from the type certificate
holder so that you are making an EXACT copy of the "certified" part using
the EXACT materials used to make the certified part. If all of that is
done, I believe a log book entry is sufficient
