not under oath.

Now you've switched things around to a court. Yesterday the FSDO was putting me
under oath. Make up your mind. Ok, we're in court -- and I take the 5th. End of
discussion.

In any case, the regs state that the parts must be approved. There is no reg
that states that I must buy my approved parts from a vendor such as Aircraft
Spruce. If there is no reg, not even the FAA can charge me with violating it.
There is also no reg that states that I must tell the FAA where I bought my
parts.
