The last a and p I hired put too much oil in and RV12 then spit hot oil all over the front wheel paint, heating up the paint and then burning it.
The other a and p man i hired to do an annual condition inspection did nothing but look over the bulletins and then signed off.
The other a and p man said he wouldn't come near an experimental and that his only advise was to "sell it."
An avionics man said that he would install the servo and then changed his mind and said "we can't make money off of experimentals so we're not going to do it" "Make friends with the other Van owners and ask them". (thats what I do here and thank you for your wise and experienced counsel)
Ft Myers Florida lacks in quantity and QUALITY of A and P men. I earned a law degree (in 2 instead of 3 years) and I didn't know a collateral estoppel from a res judicata about the law at one time. So, I am learning this as I go along as it is apparent that the only person you can trust is yourself.
Another flier at KFMY regaled me with the story of his A & P man. After he did his A&P stuff the pilot took off from the airport. Immediately smelled gasoline and the plane sputtered. He remembered to not spin back and into the ground at the airport so he flew straight for ten miles as the plane sputtered. On the ground the engine caught fire. The issue? A and P had disconnected the fuel line for some reason and then the telephone rang. He must have just looked at the fuel line and saw that the two ends were touching. He forget that he did not retighten the fuel line. Aircraft and Powerplant man. Pilot-light sport. (The A & P man said he was "sorry." Maybe he said that he was "very sorry").
We were all naked babes at one time but we had to learn and did so.
This is what I was suggesting (as some people suggest two lock nuts); a drop of this under the nut
