My recently purchased RV3 (less engine) has the following statement in
the operating limitations:"The cognizant FAA Flight Standards Office must
be notified and their response received in writing, prior to flying this aircraft
after incorporating a major change as defined by FAR 21.93"
I plan to install a 0235 and maybe remove header tank and use only wing
tanks. Do I make the mods, then contact the FSDO, or submit a proposed
mod first? Will the final step be an inspection by FAA rep or DAR and some
kind of local flight testing period similar to a newly licensed exp aircraft?
Will I need a "annual" signed off by A&P before the FAA or DAR looks at the
plane or will their inspection be the first annual?
Thanks
