Ummmm........
Maybe that the corrosion is still there? Nothing on the list of discrepancies has been repaired?
Kinda hard for an attorney to convince a judge an annual inspection was completed with no work done and nothing in the logs stating "returned to service".
Best evidence Tom has is this thread- "Hey guys, a dude with a crummy Cessna told me to stop."

You completed the inspection phase? Aren't you supposed to log the inspection as unairworthy with a list of discrepancies provided to owner.
That's just what the FAA says. Doesn't matter here.

Where in this thread did I say I completed any thing?
When are people here going to read a post for what it says?
This is how you started the thread:
Tom-D said:
Your use of the words 'started an annual' indicates that you performed an inspection. You didn't complete the inspection and you didn't return the plane to service, it remains an inspection.

Don't you believe you must complete an annual before you can sign it off? or refer to it in the past tense?
I started an annual, but the owner told me to quit.
You performed an inspection but didn't complete it. As per the IA guide, you still have to document the results of an incomplete inspection.

The FAA would have to prove I started it. in order to prove I didn't comply with that advice.

That's just a play on words.
Besides who is responsible for insuring the prop entries are made in the maintenance records?
The FAA would be hard pressed to make a case saying the list of discrepancies I left were the results of an annual.
I did not do the annual. in order to DO, you must complete, including the return to service or not.
So if someone removes merchandise from a store without paying but doesn't get caught, no theft has occurred. I understand.

You said that what you did is ok as the FAA wouldn't be able to prove that you did it.
