As I recall the little metal tag that FAA wants visible on the aircraft has
a space for the A/C MFR. That is where you put your name. You are the Mfr.
and therefore entitled to do the condition inspections and all modifications
consistant with your airworthiness cert. I didn't find any approval blank
for Canadian Home Rotors when I made modifications to my helicopter. They
did ask me not to call it a Safari if I was making un-approved mods.
