I'm an owner NOT a builder of an RV6. My local A&P tells me that I cannot sign off my installation of an Anti-Splat oil shutter or a new Vetterman exhaust. He's a good guy, a bud and I respect his experience and judgment when it comes to anything related to general aviation aircraft maintenance. But this is contrary to what I have read. Now, it may be that given his assessment of my capabilities he thinks it wise to inspect and sign off on my work - but that aside - am I authorized as an owner of an experimental aircraft to perform ANY maintenance (aside from a condition inspection) on my aircraft and sign off the required logbook entries? I'm going to have him do it, but I am curious whether it's actually required.
