My guys in Reno FSDO could not have been nicer.
They came out, did the deed and even posed for a picture!
I got the impression that they enjoyed the different day's experience.
Do not get me wrong, they were VERY businesslike, but seemed willing to help to make it happen (2009)

I had MIDO inspect my -10.
A couple hangers over, a avionics FSDO guy was to get his sonics inspected. So for ethics reasons MIDO was set up to do the inspection. They set it up to do mine also. They do get credit for inspections so if you have any contacts with a MIDO, that is another NON-normal place that can be contacted to see if they would have any time and need the credit. One advantage I have is that there is a MIDO and a FSDO located here.
There were 4 inspectors. One Engine, one Avionics and a new one that I think was primarily an engine man and the head MIDO leading things. He had the experimental inspection experience. It was a teaching situation for them.
You talk about climbing over everything. It was so interesting listening to them ask questions and talk about how experimentals go together. Why to 'they do this or that?' Is it legal for things like this? (ie electronic ignition)
I had 2 EAA tech advisors climbing over my construction from almost day one so I don't remember the MIDO people coming up with a single 'nit' or anything close. One of my EAA TA's is a retired NTSB incident inspector/instructor so he knows what to look for.
Everything was done very professionally. I suggest to start talking to them early and try to work up some type of a relationship. If you have an active EAA chapter, get them to have FSDO or MIDO come and give a program now and then. That is a great place to start the relationship.
