WHAT THEY DO:
EXP Aircraft Services specializes in experimental
aircraft avionics installations, airframe maintenance
and builder assistance as well as provides a variety
of services for small single- and twin-engine aircraft.

EMPLOYEES: 1
FOUNDED: 2010 by Walter Aronow
AEA MEMBER SINCE: 2010

“I don’t have anyone setting a time limit
on my work. I am able to take whatever time is
necessary to do the job right without any pressure
from the boss or to hurry up and get it done.”
— WA LT E R A RO N OW

avionics technician, line supervisor and quality assurance
supervisor for the airlines, overseeing avionics installations,
maintenance, overhauls and inspections.
At EXP Aircraft Services, Aronow specializes in experimental aircraft avionics installations, airframe maintenance
and builder assistance but also provides a variety of services
for small single- and twin-engine aircraft. For general aviation customers, his FAA-certified repair station offers avionics installation and repair, pitot-static and transponder certification, dynamic propeller balancing, aircraft weighing and
maintenance. EXP Aircraft Services also is an authorized
dealer for Dynon Avionics, Trig Avionics, FreeFlight Systems
and Becker Avionics.
“Anyone is allowed to do maintenance on an experimental
aircraft, but you must have an A&P or FAA repairman’s certificate to do the annual condition inspection,” Aronow said.
“Most A&Ps and shops are not familiar with experimental
aircraft or the regulations they operate under. Our expertise
in this area helps to set us apart from most other shops.”

Eye on the Details
From the beginning, customers have come to Aronow mostly
by word of mouth. Participating in online forums, such as the
Vans Air Force website, has helped grow his business, too.
“Through these forums, I am able to provide technical guidance to beginning builders, and I now have customers as far
away as New York coming to my shop for work,” Aronow said.
“These folks will schedule their maintenance needs with a vacation or when visiting relatives nearby.”
For customers who need a ride back to their home airport,
Aronow gladly offers them a lift in his RV7A. In addition to
being convenient for customers, it gives Aronow the added
benefit of more flying time.
“Flying with customers also gives me a great opportunity to
discuss things like aircraft performance, engine operation, proper
leaning techniques, engine vibration and avionics operation,” he
said. “I really enjoy this aspect of the job.”
