In an aviation group on Facebook someone asked why people build their own airplanes.
Of course someone mentioned that they did it so they could perform their own inspections. To which an IA jumped in and said, incorrectly, that the engine still needs to be signed off by an IA.
It turned out he convinced the people on his field this was the case and had homebuilders paying him to inspect their engines.
(Needless to say, he wasn't pleased with being called out on this.)
Has anyone here ever run into this before?
