Herb, some very good points.  In my case, I have revealed so much on the
list and the RV list about my oil temp problems and my modifications to
fix it that I decided that being on record with the FAA was probably the
prudent thing to do.  Actually, I did suggest to the FAA that the 13
hours still remaining on my test period would be more than adequate to
check out the mod. But, you do make a point about not documenting a
trail that can be used to "hang" yourself.  Someone pointed out that as
long as I was still in the mandated "test" period then the need for
notifying the FAA on modifications such as my air duct may not be
needed.  However, notification of each major mod would be needed and
possible new test hours after that orginal test period.

Regarding fraud, I would have thought that there was much less of it in
the aviation area given the documentation trail.  But, guess bad apples
in all walks of life.

In any case, I agree with you Herb,  enough on insurance! lets get back
to something that makes sense and is fun like flying experimental
engines in experimental aircraft {:>}.
