What is the "type or production certificate" of an experimental engine? Not only for something like a supplier assembled engine, but also one where the aircraft builder (manufacturer) assembles the engine from a kit? Are Experimental, Amateur Built aircraft covered under 21.182? Huh? Huh? We have inquiring minds.

The timing will be known, unless it is electronically modified (advanced) by flight conditions. The horsepower may not be known - even though that is important for propeller selection. --part1_16a.1d79cc34.2bd42619_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In a message dated 4/20/2003 9:52:39 AM Central Daylig= ht Time, marv@lancaironline.net writes:
