Nicely put A & C
I wish we could do as you say. Our replacement prop cost over £500 more than an identical one fitted to a permit a/c thanks to the dreaded Form 1, and it was the CAMO who insisted on changing it.
I've written to the Office of Fair Trading as the current legislation means that our CAMO can insist that we have to have work done (and where) or they won't sign off the ARC. They can refuse to accept any second or third opinion as they say that it is they who are responsible for our continued airworthiness.
Yes the CAMOs faced ludicrous charges from the CAA, but it is a restricted market and costs have gone up for all of us. As I am a hobby flyer I can't justify the cost of Part M and will be selling my beloved baby before the next annual.
Thanks EASA and s*d off CAA....
