This is the single place biplane designed by Lou Stolp back in 1964. It"s a very easy aircraft to fly, powered by O-290 engine... an overall fun aircraft to fly! Constructed with a steel fuselage, wood spars and ribs, and covered with fabric construction, the Starduster One could only be classified as "classic." This particular aircraft was meticulously built by a machinist and lifelong late EAA member. The aircraft has been in hangar and properly stored for the last ten years.

What is a Condition Inspection?A condition inspection is the equivalent of an "annual" for a type certificated aircraft. Although FAR Part 43 specifically states that it does not apply to experimental airworthiness certificates, the operating limitations for homebuilt aircraft will have some level of inspection required.
Who can perform a Condition Inspection?The inspection can be performed by any licensed A&P mechanic, an FAA Approved Repair Station, or by the builder of the airplane provided the builder obtains a "Repairman"s Certificate" from the FAA (most owners/builders obtain this authorization). Note that unlike an annual for a type certificated aircraft, the A&P mechanic does NOT have to have his/her "Inspection Authorization".
Who can maintain a Homebuilt?FAR Part 43 specifically states that the rules of that part do not apply to amateur-built airplanes. Therefore, any maintenance on an experimental airplane can be performed virtually by anyone regardless of credentials. (This does not apply to the Condition Inspection). Let common sense be your guide as to what maintenance you conduct yourself.
