Carl and Kirk,
Thanks for the clarification, I understand now. I knew the Canadian system opened up a can of worms and made it difficult to return the aircraft to its original airworthiness certification and I assumed a similar problem with TOPCAT. I wonder how your average IA would look at a primary category aircraft come time for annual. Several I know don't want anything to do with experimentals so I wonder how many would shy away from something that's had a lot of maintenance accomplished on it by a minimally trained mechanic.
