Joe, Pre-cover inspections are not required by the FAA anymore. But what I didon the first ( even though it was a U/L) , and will do on the Piet, is tohave one or more set of eyes, that you trust, give it a good look. Ifnothing else it will give you peace of mind.The word in the streets ( or on the tarmac) is to take lots of photos andhave the paperwork in order.walt evansps Be using my first turnbuckles in two days, to square up the right wing.-----Original Message-----
