I was reading that this from a fly-in website..
=====quote============
"FAA accepted 16 Hour Repairman Inspection Course."
This course is designed to prepare owners to perfrom annual condition inspections. FAA regulation 65.107 allows the owner of an ELSA to earn a repairman (LSA) Inspection rating by attending an FAA accepted course. Successful completion of the course allows you to perform the annual inspection on any ESLA aircraft that you own now or in the future.

Does that mean they can perform the annual inspection, and sign off without the requirement of an A&P inspecting behind them?
Wonder why the FAA doesn't allow the same 16 hour course for RV's (homebuilts) that are purchased, rather than built by the owner?
Are we to believe that LSA's are built so well, that they need less skills to annually inspect?..![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just wondering...
