Very clear answer Ralph and just what I was looking for. I have an EAA
meeting coming up this month that I am going to start asking questions at. I
have been keeping a littl quiet because I was the new guy. Now that I have
been to three meetings, I feel a little more comfortable in speaking up.
Jim!

-> Jim,
-> There is only one inspection required in the USA. It is after completion
and can be done by an FAA employee or DAR.
-> The FAA guys are picky, slow, and free. The DAR's are picky, quicker, and
more expensive. Ours charges $300-400 but is very practical and pleasant.
At the successful completion you will get a restricted airworthiness certificate
with limitations and a flyoff area assigned. I suggest you ask for as large an
area as you can get with airports at the extreme points.
->
-> You have to have all the access available as if doing a condition
inspection. Have your log and pictures available as well as all the required
paperwork. The FAA / EAA have publications regarding homebuilt certification
that will give you all the details. I do suggest that you have an EAA
Technical Advisor check your work 3 - 4 times during the build to catch
anything overlooked that the DAR will not be able to see.

-> Don't look at the inspection as a hurdle, look at it as a last chance to
save your rump.
