Upgrading a used Homebuilt...
I'm in the process of looking at buying a plane.
One of the options I've considered is buying a used RV6A or RV7A or maybe even an RV10. (Flying RV10's are Still a bit pricey) I want an IFR capable aircraft and I want all flight critical instruments, radios etc... to use certified components. If I find a used airplane I like but want to add or upgrade the flight instruments and/or avionics what is the legal or regulatory equvalent of a 337 or STC for a homebuilt? I have my A+P license (I have not used it for 20+ years) Paul |

Upgrading a used Homebuilt...
Especially if you have "the ticket" fixing up a production aircraft
would make a lot more sense. Almost all are better instrument platforms. my A+P currency has lapsed. So I'm not sure whats involved in getting recurent. Which instruments do you feel are more reliable if certified? I've seen a lot of EFIS electronic displays for Homebuilts, that are not certified for use in production aircraft. I build this sort of electronics for a living and there is a world of difference between make it look like it works and make it robust under all circumstances in the real world. Paul |
