Howdy, netters; I've been unable to locate anything definitive about what is required in the way of flight test requirements after "major" modifications are made to an experimental. All I find is hearsay; nothing clear in the FARs. I'm assuming that most tweaks do not require restriction to a flight test area and/or logbook entry (or anything else), such as adding wheel pants, fairings, lights, belly brake, changes to cowling or prop, gap seals, and so forth. What I'm wondering about is, an the case of Troy Petteway changing his wing from the RAF to the AS50xx airfoil, or changing from an air-cooled VW to a water-cooled Subaru. A major change.
If someone out there has something definitive (not "I think you can...", or "a guy I know did..."), I'd appreciate it. Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net
