I'm New Here
I am new to the forum and was led here by a member because of my interest in purchasing a 7 or 8. What a great source of information and a fantastic group of enthusiasts! I was looking at an RV8A that is for sale. The A&P owner (not builder) changed the prop from a Hartzell to a WW200RV. In doing this he asked the local FSDO for an amendment to the operating limitations and permission to re-inter phase 1 testing to verify the operation of the prop. This was granted and completed. But the FSDO added a restriction to the operating limitations that prohibit the aircraft from any aerobatic flight - not just for the phase test but forever.
My questions - Was this request necessary to change out a prop on a previously tested and registered experimental aircraft? How big of a nightmare would it be to get such a limitation removed?
