Oh wise builders/flyers of canard aircraft.
Looking at buying a non flying Long EZ. Engine, avionics, controls have all been removed. Good work but an empty shell. I would love to rebuild it myself. It has previously been registered.
There is no way to get a repairman certificate out of it no matter how much work I do...correct?
Is it legal for me to work on it and then have an A&P check the work?
Would an A&P sign off another guys work?
Does it all have to be done by a certified mech?
Good advice from an experienced guy was that most A&Ps are not familiar with Long EZs and beware or any work they do on anything other then the engine.
The other option I have is to pay to have the work done at a shop that specializes in composite work put it back in flying condition and pick up a flying aircraft. But it will cost a lot more and I will not gain any experience.
Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
