Tony Find an A&P that will put up with you for supervision and sign-off. Do the work to his standards. Get the A&P to recommend you for The Test Get your OWN A&P rating. Find some fool YOU can put up with for supervision and sign-off. etc... |

I'm very picky about how things go together and I doubt someone else as picky as me wouldn't sell a plane they've built. If it weren't for the certification rules, I'd buy an old classic and restore it myself. I think that would be as satisfying as building something from scratch. Tony You can do that. You need a certified person to do the signoffs, but you can do all the work... Finding someone that would sign off on the work is highly unlikely since I would also expect to rebuild the engine myself too. Tony There are a lot of folks restoring older aircraft out there and not all of them are A&Ps. I'd be willing to bet that there is a subset of A&Ps around the country that if they don't specialize in checking restorer's work at least do it regularly. You might check with the EAA. |
