Repeat slowly and carefully after me:
The owner or operator of an aircraft is allowed to manufacture parts for his/her own aircraft. Say it again. Understand that you do not have to have your hand on the drill press or CNC buttons. The FAA is satisfied that you take a drawing down to your local machine shop and oversee their manufacture of your part. Or you can make it yourself, your choice. Now, say it one more time... Jim "Denny" wrote in message oups.com... The torque arm however was a nine inch long, $1600 item for something that any competent machine shop would make from scratch for $40 in material and a $150 in labor and CNC machine time - Piper's price is big time rape! Steve, the mechanic, was really po'd at Piper over this part... He finally found a serviceable part from a wrecked plane that met the AD and was available for 50% of new, so we went that route... |
