Subject: Pietenpol-List: builders logDidn't even keep a spiral notebook record and my FAA MIDO inspector washappy with what I provided him which werefolders which had invoices of everything that I purchased broken downcategories like airframe, engine, mags/carb/prop, and fabric/paint. I glued many construction photos to four posterboards in chronological order and he really liked that. I think the thing that got him to sign off my airplane is that I put ona pot of coffee in the hangar that morning and brought1/2 dozen donuts with me. --------------------------------------------------------------------mail2web - Check your email from the web athttp://link.mail2web.com/mail2web________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: builders logA DAR here in FL that specilizes in writing off Lancairs has a chk list ofstuff he likes to have done before he shows for inspection. One item rebuilders log is simply ck marks in the building manual as each step iscompleted, instead of a written log. This is not too applicable to thePiete but may be useful. Some pictures, recpts, etc, also required but theonly thing he seems to concern about is YOU have signed off on the fact youbuilt 51% of the plane, can prove it with recpts and if it looks "somewhat"airworthy. Lots of Lancairs are being built by some APs, with owner onlyshowing up for some of the construction. This FL DAR says he really don'tcare if the owner builds it or not, who ever is the builder has to sign theFAA form as builder. As far as he's concerned owner and builder can be twodifferent people.GordonOriginal Message:-----------------
