Good piece by John Cox but with one picky...using a certified engine/prop combo will shorten Phase I from 40 hours to 25 hours, not a real big deal but helpful. Of course, it can go "experimental" at some point after that.
As a Light-Sport repairman, a couple of rules stand out in contrast: Changes are NOT allowed after certification unless so allowed by the Manufacturer (not FAA). However, if any installed equipment was TSO'd when certified, that equipment is subject to AD compliance. For those folks with the ESLA version (an over 50% kit), it must remain the same as the Special version, which means compliance with AD's on that equipment.
I'm told that the FAA likes this language, it gets them out of the loop yet places compliance on the Owner and Mechanic, with all paperwork coming from the Manufacturer. This thinking was strained when wings started coming off one kit model and the NSTB called for grounding.
Luckily, the EAA and AOPA watch the fine print in all proposed changes. Some day it might be us, again. There was that foreign warbird moratorium back in the 90's.

I do not know if the YAK list server will allow an attachment or not,
but this attachment addresses Experimental Aircraft with certified
engines and props and addresses if AD's apply. It also addresses
removal of engine data plates. If it does not "go" to the list... I'll
try another approach. The key words are:
If the engine or prop was Type Certificated or "TSO'ed" then all AD's
for same MUST be complied with. No exceptions. Data Plate removal, log
book entries, whatever. Remember... I don't know anything about this
issue personally, other than what I am trying to pass along. Don't
shoot the messenger. If anyone wants a personal email copy of this
thing if it fails to "post", just let me know.
