No, that is not the intent of my post. I just provided the article for
other to see what the FAA has to say about this.

Ok, good.


In fact, I am in the process of making an owner manufactured part of my own
following the guidelines in the article.

Owner produced parts are a good thing for those of us with orphaned

legal.

Yes, and even more important, for it to be safe.
