  Bill,
  
  Perhaps the broad brush I used was off the mark.  I liked your ending
  statement most of all, "You learn what you need and retain what you use."
   That
  statement is precisely the point of the builder doing the majority  of the
work
  and receiving his annual inspection authorization.  How  can any A&P know
that
  custom airplane better than the builder after he  has spent years learning
  those things necessary to build a certified  "experimental, amateur built"
  aircraft?
  
  Maybe it would be useful to hear from those LMLers that bought a pre-built
  Lancair (possibly pre-used, too) and how they found an A&P to sign off  the
  annual condition inspection or work on the craft.

  PS The electrics you mentioned were used in designs from the middle of  the
  last century.
