Not to bring up old subjects, but I've heard from guys who have been thruthe inspection , that stops are required and stops on the stick/torque tubewere not acceptable. all stops had to be right at the control surface( ONthe elevator, ON the rudder).Don't know first hand, haven't been thru my own yet.covering now.walt---------------------------------------------------------- Original Message -----

The FAA licensed my first plane and didn't look at anything in detail, just paper. We have a DAR on the second plane and he has looked at the plane and is waiting for us to complete the weight /balance. I would humbly and carefully challenge that issue against the design and its history. Doug Bryant Wichita, Ks________________________________________________________________________________
