Greetings,
This may not be the best forum for this, but there are probably more RV folks who would benefit from a change than with any other aircraft type. I'm fully aware of how the current repairman's cert works, where you can only work on the specific plane you built. That's fine, but I think this should be logically extended.
In my mind, if you have a repairman's certificate for an RV-8 you built, you should be able to apply it to any RV-8 you own, even if you didn't build it. I think you could even go so far as to extend that to any RV, since they're all so similar in construction.
Am I the only one who thinks this makes sense? I sent a similar message to the EAA a couple weeks ago, asking them to consider it for future negotiations with the FAA, but I didn't get a reply.
Cheers,
Rusty
