The original poster is in need of someone that can fit into the tail cone with the skills and ability to complete these two service bulletins. If you can do that then it appears the OP is willing to compensate you for performing these SBs.
I am clear on that, did you read what I wrote?
Of course. Clearly.
I guess I’m not sure what you were trying to clarify then. I’m FAA certified to do this work, and I did this work, and I’m offering to help.
The OP is not looking for someone to "sign off" on work he performed himself. Someone with the skills and ability to climb into the tail cone and complete the service bulletins is what is needed.
I’m clear that he needs physical assistance of someone getting into the tailcone. But if this is an ELSA, he doesn’t need an LSRM-A or an A&P to sign off on the work, he can do that himself. If he has an SLSA, he is going to need either an LSRM-A or an A&P to sign off on the work in addition to physically doing the work. That’s what I’m trying to clarify, because I’m willing to assist with the physical labor because I’ve done it before. But as I am not set up as a business, I am not willing to sign off on the work, even though I am certified to do so. He would need to do that himself, which requires him to be legally allowed to sign off on the work.
If it’s ELSA, for this work it won’t matter who built it. He would need his LSRI-A to do a condition inspection but anyone with no qualifications is allowed to do maintenance on experimentals. If it’s SLSA, he needs an A&P or LSRM-A.
I have several people who have responded to my request.. So for now, consider my request as having been met. Thanks. BTW, I do have a LSRI-A for my aircraft and the necessary tools to do and inspect the work performed.
A bit of unsolicited advice, I would strongly recommend the usage of dye penetrant for the inspection for cracks. When I did mine, the dye penetrant revealed an invisible crack that was only just starting, you couldn't even see it.
