All in all the inspection went Great!!! What it boiled down to was he neededa few days to do the paperwork, and said I needed a few days to do my paperwork,and he found a few adjustments to make.Wanted the throttle and carb heat controls to stop at their stops, not the knobstops. In other words, wanted the carb heat to bottom and still have 1/16"or so of travel left in the knob. Also the throttle did not go to the stop screwon the carb at full throttle on the controls.The aerleron wires seemed to rub slightly under the panel, and wanted themsleeved.and lastly wanted the main fuel shutoff labeled for total fuel on board.Said to call him when done and he will fly down and transfer paperwork and giveme the BIG airworthiness cirtificate.Said it's okay to put on all the cowlings and get ready to go.Did have a problem with the NX number thing. Never heard of it. I gave him acopy of the reg., and he said he would find out.Got a 25 hour flyoff because of my engine and prop, and a phase 1 flyoff into PAand able to land in Sussex due to no fuel in Newton ( see you soon Scott andBob)I'm a happy, happy happy guy, just not quite done.I was impressed with the DAR I had, very knowledgeable, knew his stuff, if itwas ok,,,fine, if not , you had to change it.thanks to Scott and Bob and everyone for their inputwaltNX140DL(north N.J.)PS really won't be long now________________________________________________________________________________

Yeah, like I said , he's a regular guy. remember he's not FAA. Just a guywith alot of experience, who's flown alot of planes, who flies formula Vracers ( VW powered to 180 mph) who got offered the job. Heard horrorstories of inspecters who wouldn't let the plane fly without the"experimental". but he was good enough to say that he had never heard ofit, but he will check. Lucky I had a copy of the reg with me that he wantedto take to check with the FAA.walt----- Original Message -----
