Another little bit of good news

I was talking to Rob in the BMAA Tech Office about MYRO’s repair when an interesting point came up. Because no ‘fabrication’ such as welding is involved and as the repair only comprises bolting on parts to replace the ones that have been damaged, in fact an Approved Repair Scheme isn’t necessary at all, and neither do I have to have a letter of no objection from P & M, stuff like that. I can just go ahead and do the repairs as all the parts I’ll be using will be automatically ‘approved’ as they will have come from another AX3. All I need to do is keep a record of the provenance of each part ie a note of the registration of the aircraft it came from, preferably provided by the previous registered owner, and have each part inspected before I actually use it. This is great news because it means I’ll be able to get cracking on the work much sooner than I originally expected, so the sooner I can get my engine down for shock load checking and pick up the other bits I need, the better.

Slowly but surely the light at the end of tunnel is getting bigger and brighter. I just hope that it isn’t the proverbial train hurtling down the line towards me 😆
