You would be surprised at how many of our "FAA Friends" don't know thisregulation !!!!! BIG HINT=copy this and keep it your airframe logbook and acopy of it IN YOUR AIRPLANE AT ALL TIMES !!!! This came right from themouth of the Cleveland, Ohio Chief of MIDO !!! MIDO does the initialairworthiness thing to get you going. Down the road somewhere a FSDOAviation Safety Inspector might approach you being fresh out of "Fed school"just looking to Violate you because HE doesn't know the rules! This happensall the time. (Ask Bob Hoover). Anybody read his latest book entitled "AIROF INJUSTICE" ? If not, you cannot believe what happened to that man andnumerous others. Do your homework and in certain cases, TAKE IT WITH YOU!Earl (the Fed antagonist) Myers-----Original Message-----

Walt- The 30 year old design deal with that FAR that allows youto use NX------- is used by us to ELIMINATE the need for the bigEXPERIMENTAL sign otherwise required. In other words, if you usethe NX you don't need that big ugly sign inside or outside of youraircraft. Don't let the FAA boys tell you otherwise.....have the reg.printed out and hand it to him with your other paperwork. My guydidn't have a clue as to what I was talking about.....so I just handedhim the reg a let him read it. NOTE: the FAA in OKC will not recognizethat NX when you register or get your airworthiness certificate !It is merely an X in place of that EXPERIMENTAL billboard. Just a marking, not something on paper. It's a neat little thing to know about....thank youto Frank Pavliga Sr. and Jr. for telling me about this rule.Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________
