So we will have right to repair but it's only legal if you document all repairs, keep records of parts ordered, only use verified vendors for those parts....etc etc. Right to repair laws shouldn't be onerous, and people should be able to (illegally) remove emissions controls, and we should recognize that as a bad thing that comes with the territory.
Don't freak out, things have downsides, it's actually admirable to be able to handle nuance, own it.
This is essentially the situation in the general aviation market for certificated aircraft, and it sucks. Costs are triple or more compared to the experimental market. Finding a decent mechanic is a serious chore. Repairs take forever.
Is there any reason not to buy experimental for non-commercial daylight VFR flights for personal use?
If that’s your mission and especially if you’re mechanically inclined, experimental is highly compelling.
