Limit scope of practice. How many private rated would need to know turbine for example. Just as we have private, multi, high performance, complex, etc we could have similar for non-commercial A&P. This idea isn't far from the light sport maintenance training concept.

1000s. They tried a similar approach in the 90s based aircraft weight. Its very tough to split mx at the private/commercial level. Regardless, follow MOSAIC as I've noted in other threads may just give you what you're looking for.How many private rated would need to know turbine for example.
Because I don’t want to build a plane from scratch and it’s not so simple to find NICE aerobatic planes to buy all over the place. We should legally be able to convert a certified plane to experemental for this purpose, but you can’tIn your view, what would be the difference between a "commercial rated" vs a "private rated" A&P?
People dont follow the FARs all the time. Just dont get caught. But as to the fines and jail time, I think you're over reacting a bit.
So why dont you switch to amatuer built or put your current aircraft under experimental exhibition which only requires a condition inspection like a E/AB every year?
Just saying to break the law and not get caught is an extremely poor argument to govt over reach.
As another poster said, the administrative state only responds and understands force from legislators
I would say buy a hangar first before even doing the IA, they are basicly unavailable all across the country.Ignore the naysayers. If you're an aviation enthusiast go for it. I got my a&p fresh out of high school, after a few years upgraded to IA to inspect major repairs, annuals. Eventually stashed enough cash to buy a 172 needing some minor repairs. So, go for it
Hangar - IA then work on flying
You can buy an already built amateur plane. No assembly needed. Aerobatic too. Next.Because I don’t want to build a plane from scratch and it’s not so simple to find NICE aerobatic planes to buy all over the place.
You can. Its called Experimental Exhibition. Matter of fact I believe there are a number of different aerobactic planes already flying as Exp/Exh. So what’s your hold-up? Or do you simply prefer to complain about something?We should legally be able to convert a certified plane to experemental for this purpose, but you can’t
I get on barn stormers periodicly and these planes are rareYou can buy an already built amateur plane. No assembly needed. Aerobatic too. Next.

Exhibition places pretty extreme limitations on your plane like range flown etc
They have to add in stupid crap, they can’t just let you own a plane and work on it
Also these catagories still require A&P which is harder to get than the IA
