FAA-certified Airframe and Powerplant ?

[Henry Schmidt]

I'm wondering if an A&P ceterficate is required for engines in this application?

You can make them look good, but what we really want is flight.
It might sing on the dyno but can it fly?

Hi Stoney
Yes on both counts. It's tiny here but we like it.
How's that sweet little car of yours running?

Henry, The only way you will get your A&P ceterficate is if you lower your standards,,

[BReyes]

No but I once saw a 911 with a license plate loflyer. Now i have a new visual.

It runs great..thanks to you. I am finally getting the A/C installed as we speak....by another Pelican who is very skilled/experienced in that area....much better than me. I have been gathering up the parts for a long time but gave up on finding the time between work and my AF Reserve duty taking up all my time. It should be state of the art to match the engine....and I want to drive it year round.

HI do we have to get a set No of Porsche cars in the air to qualify for a FAA cert.

Hi Stony
Not yet, PM me with info if you have some.
Los Vegas? Did you move?

[fintstone]

Sent you a PM. Yep, I am in Vegas now...although my car and most of my 911 and most of my stuff are still in Albuquerque (I have been to busy to really move). We are almost neighbors. I will have to try to get by to check out your new digs.
