Seeking guidance on how to legally maintain my future Vans RV.
I will be purchasing a flying airplane.
1st thing after learning to fly it will be modifications.
For example: add a C/S prop, strobe lights, or change the instrument panel and radios. You know, fun stuff.
Since my new bird will be "experimental" there are no field approvals for the mods, or 337s required for my changes / improvements, right?
Since I did not build the airplane.
I am ineligable to earn a repairmans cert for My airplane?
I can do some maintenace myself (like with certified birds)?
There is an "Annual" required but its called an "inspection" and it must be done by an A&P licensed mechanic with IA privaleges?
Are log books required?
Thanks for your inputs, Dan
