As the owner of an experimental(homebuilt) you can do any work on it yourself. However you cannot do theannual conditional inspection on the aircraft unless you are the builder andhave applied for the repairman's certificate. You must have either the builderor an A&P or IA do the annual conditional inspection.Scott ________________________________________________________________________________
