I think that you more or less understand the plot (more than we can say for DFC!).
It would be my stance to encourage some owner maintenance for those who have the correct attitude, at least this way people will be "up front" about what they are doing and not try to hide things from me.
The good thing about owner maintenance is that it teaches the owner a lot about his aircraft and he soon finds out that good maintenance is not easy, this understanding helps to balance the rubbish spouted by flying club bar flies who think that any one can maintain aircraft.
