In some instances I have had refusal to sell me parts from general
vendors if I tell them it was for aircraft use. One refused to sell me
a 1000lb digital weigh scale and another mfg refused to sell me a
suspension spring. They don't understand the difference between
certified and experimental aircraft. Now I simply tell them it is for a
home garage built off-road vehicle (really off-road).


DO the places you purchase items from regularly ask you what you are using
them for? I can say that I have never once in 43 years been asked for what I
was going to use something I purchased. The only exception to this is the
occasional .50 cal round of ammo and strange items I have bought from
friends.

In the first case I said fun and profit and in the other I told them.
