It can be done in Canada. It's called the "Owner Maintenance" catagory and
has been applicable to a range of singles for several years now. That SeaBee operating in Southern Ontario with a Corvette engine is doing it under the Owner Maintenance catagory. I can buy a Champ, license it under OM, sell the A-65 and stick a Corvair in it. Right now I can't fly an OM aircraft to the states but that may change soon. Part of the argument in favour of it was that annual inspections on homebuilts up here can be performed by whoever is the registered owner and no "airman's repair certificate" is required. This has not resulted in an unusual number of airplanes falling from the sky relative to the US, and really the OM catagory isn't so different. Although it's traditional to ignore goings on in Canada, Americans would be smart to monitor Canadian OM for a while and, assuming over a few years not too many bad things happen, use it to petition the FAA for something similar. John "Brad Mallard" wrote in message ... I know this is a popular question, but I have not seen anyone actually answer it. Can you make a Certified aircraft into a homebuilt? The only response I have gotten is "yes, but with a lot of paperwork." Is there a starting point? Brad |
