Mack,

The paragraph in our Operating Limitions regarding "Major Changes" isn't 
grandfathered in.  Its permanent, period, Unless you have New Operating 
Limitions issued for your airplane.  And then once again the new OL is 
permanent. There is nothing to grandfather.  It also has nothing to do 
with your liking them are or not.  You must follow your OL's regardless 
of your likes. Now if you don't like them you may be able to get them 
reissued in a wording more to your liking, then again you might like 
your current wording more than what you can get now?

I think the confusion was on what 8130.2e is.  Its not the rule for all 
owners of homebuilts, its the FAA's suggestion to inspectors on how to 
write Operating Limitations for newly certified homebuilts.

The point is every homebuilt has "ITS" Operating Limitations and we all 
must follow our particular ones.  Thats the law.
