Hi  

   

6 weeks into the build process  I have completed Vertical Stab and *almost* the elevators, rudders. Today I invited the local DAR over for a coffee and an informal review of what I have done to date. At this point everything is quirte open and it wa sewasy for him to see inside.   

   

I asked for his opinion on the quality of my work to date and if there was anything that could be a problem in a formal inmspection. While he was looking at my work, I pointed out all the places where I had an OOPS and how I fixed it. The bottom line is he was quite pleased with my work thus far and I now know that what I am doing is passing muster. I  may not build a show quality antique classic (to paraphase John Cox) but I now know that what I am building will be safe and functional.  

   

For those like me, who didn’t know what a rivet squeeze looked like 5 months ago,  I recommend getting an expert to review your work befor you are too far into the build process. The great thing about having DAR do an informal inspection is that their opinion does carry a great deal of weight.  

   

Cheers

Hi Les,



in Switzerland it is mandatory to ave your parts inspected once you finished them. I believe it is a good practise. I will give you feedback about the quality of your work and also build a good relationship with the experts.

Keep on the good work!

I did the same with my local EAA Tech Counseler. Results same as below. 

He spent a lot of time encouraging me to see him on a regular basis by 

sharing war stories of unairworthy efforts.



Recommend it highly too.
