Dick,
I'll do you one better and apologise for making you think you needed to apologise!
Due to the confusion expressed by some readers here I thought it best to clarify the SLSA/ELSA issue (or at least attempt to) as well as the use of the work "license" in place of "certificate", to prevent further confusion. A lot of it is semantics yes, but I think most of the misunderstandings on these postings come from poor choice (not you!) of words and [sic]missspelings.
And since I'm already on your bad list (kidding) I will add my correction to your last statement "experimental amateur built certificates and SLSA/ESLA certificates are different. With the experimental cert I can do all of my maint as previously mentioned". EAB and ELSA aircraft are the same with respect to the maintenance and Annual/Condition Inspection - the owner/builder can do it all if he/she has a Repairman's Certificate. The difference is how to get an RC - with an EAB you only need to be the builder and "demonstrate proficiency to an FAA representative", usually your DAR when you are getting your AC. With an ELSA you only need to be the owner and earn your RC through an FAA approved 16 hour course.
SLSA is entirely different to Experimental category aircraft and is (nearly?) identical to STC (Standard Type Certified) aircraft in restrictions as to what you can and cannot do.

Bob,
I apologize for using the word license vs airworthness certificate. This is similar to renaming the artificial horizon instrument to an attitude gyro (AI) why? because someone did not like the name. Last night I saw on the news that they renamed the Sears tower in Chicago (it will still be the Sears tower in most peoples minds) I have a friend of mine that goes bonkers when I call a "conditional inspection " an annual. So what he knows what I am talking about. What we are talking about is splitting hairs. Old terms are hard to get rid of (especially if you have too much coffee or beer depending on the time of day)
In any case experimental amateur built certificates and SLSA/ESLA certificates are different.With the experimental cert I can do all of my maint as previously mentioned. Part 43 does not apply.
