 Also had he complied with the laws that regulate us he would not have
 had the problem either.
 We are supposed to self regulate ourselves in these matters. It is our

He complied with the law as the FAA would not call this a major mod
and would not want to re certify something this trivial.
The law says that you can make mods and sign them off yourself in
this experimental world, can you imagine calling the FAA every time
we change oil coolers, radiators and other stuff that we do.
Also the FAA laws have changed since this old 1998 case and I have
heard that this case was part of what caused those changes.
