ALL other maintaince can be done by the owner (or the neighbor's kid). He can use any parts from any source he sees fit. The owner can modify the design any way he sees fit.

Basicly the FAA doesn't care or even want to know what goes on with homebuilts.
Yeah, thats it. I knew there was a deal with the repairman's cert, and I thought that was the only way to get "A&P and IA privileges" on your airplane. My bad.

part 103 ultralights don't have N-numbers. A "2 seat ultralight" that has a N-number falls under all the light sport rules.
