A couple of weeks ago a Lancair IVPT (read Lancair IV - pressurized -
Turbine powered) went off the end of therunway after an engine stop. Now
usually there is a long discussion about fuel issues, pilot competency etc
( yes lots of discussions after far too many accidents). This time someone
noticed in the NTSP accident report that the airplane in question was
registered to a corporation.
Then came the long discussion of who can register an experimantal airplane
and who can be on the Airworthiness Certificate as builder. This over the
past two weeks and likely 50 or 60 postings, including such words of wisdom
as what their DAR said, the educational requirements of DARs, the definition
of person and on and on. Finally the list "Pontificator" gave the final
answer. His FSDO inspector insisted that only one person could be on the
certificate as builder, but then that was ten years ago.
Amongst all this chat was the occasional plea as follows:
"Doesn't anyone want to know about the important question - why did the
engine lose power on takeoff?"
Then finally some "idiot" went to the FARs and posted the following:
"In any event, notice that the certification allows for "person(s)" to have
"fabricate and assembled" (sic)
the named aircraft "....for my (their) education or recreation. I (we)
have records..."."
Then another "party pooper" went to the FAA registration data base and
before finishing the As found employee groups listed as builders, LLCs
listed as builders, two presumably related persons as builders, and two
obviously unrelated as builders.
Still no discussion as to why the airplane lost power.
Now to the Kitfox list A guy posts that his 912 won't charge a dead
battery. So far no joy to him as the argument so far has been as to whether
the 912 has an alternator or generator and the related thought as to whether
it has a field coil.
The truth is in the book and not wanting to be a stiffler of the "chat"
someone else will have to go there and be the "idiot" or "spoil sport"

I agree with you Lowell.
The manufacturers engine manual is always the first place to go. However
having a working knowledge of how the systems work won't hurt and will
probably help in understanding some of the terminology in the manual.
