i saw this on another site and did not  know if it is correct

  

 *Question of the Week*

 	  Quote: 	
		   I just  found out that my Starduster has a cracked

 cylinder head, and  because

 of insurance my local A&P can't replace the

  cylinder. He said I or someone

 else would need to do the work and I  would need to

 sign it off in the engine

 log book. I'm not the  original builder, and I always

 thought that if you

 didn't build  it, you could only do routine

 maintenance. Can I perform this

  work?

 *Answer:*

 Anyone is allowed to perform maintenance, repair  or

 modification on an

 experimental amateur-built aircraft. You  do not have

 to be the builder or

 even the owner, and you don't  have to hold any FAA

 certificate of any kind.

 (Ref: 14 CFR  43.1(b).)

 The only time a certificate is necessary is when

  performing the condition

 inspection each year as required by the  aircraft's

 operating limitations.

 The person performing the  condition inspection must

 hold either the

 repairman certificate  for that individual aircraft

 (the original primary

 builder is  the only person eligible for the

 repairman certificate) or an  A&P

 mechanic certificate.

Dennis......    First of all, I have no idea why the mechanic can't work 

on the airplane. I think the idiot mechanic is simply ignorant of the 

rules with respect to his insurance. As far a cylinder work, I've always 

done the work but with an A&P's blessing. Sometimes they really know 

quite a bit about some details that I could have easily overlooked. But 

I tighten the bolts/nuts etc etc. I make sure everything is tidy and the 

way it should be. If there is paperwork to do, I let the A&P guy do the 

deed.

When I fly over the big rocks out there, I like to know that someone 

else didn't forget something. If I do it, then it's my problem.

I'm sure I didn't answer your question but that's the way I interpret 

the rules.
