I have been reading this forum since I purchased my Zodiac 601xl kit in early July. The kit was used and the previous owner had completed the rudder and elevator before I purchased the kit. I have since completed both the elevators, both the flaps and the right wing. I began the left wing last week and it is coming along much faster since I cut many part for both wings at the same time.
I only have about a million questions but the one bothering me right now is the FAA. They recommend I get an advisor from the EAA however the closest EAA chapter is about 150 miles from me. I live in Laredo, Tx. If you can assist me in finding someone I would be very grateful.
Another question is in the same category. I spoke to an inspector about a month ago and wonder if there is a way to lock in a specific DAR. I talk to the inspector he says X. I am afraid that if I get a different inspector he will say Y and I will be screwed. I am taking extensive photos, maintaining the website at expercraft and keeping an extensive logbook. Since I don't have the EAA rep to signoff, I am totally confused.
Any assistance would be apreaciated. Also, any e-mails just to say hi would be great

Don,
If you are a member of EAA this is the best place to go for legal
advice concerning the building of your aircraft. Call 888-322 4636,
Flight Advisor & Technical Counselor and see what they can do for you. If
you are not a member, Join by all means. All persons building an aircraft
should be a member EAA Membership Services, 800-564-6322. Both of these
calls are free.

You might contact some of the nearest chapters and find out if any of
their technical councilors live nearer to you. From the EAA website, I
see that there are chapters in Corpus Christi and San Antonio, both
about 150 miles from Laredo. If the chapters are scattered that widely
in that area, their members may be scattered over a fairly wide area
too. Maybe you have one living nearby.
As far as DARs are concerned, they are private contractors that are
approved by the FAA to do the final inspections on homebuilts. They do
the inspections on their own time and charge for the service. If you
choose to use a DAR for your inspection, whoever you initially contact
will be the one to do your inspection because you will be hiring him
directly. If you use and FAA airworthiness inspector instead, you won't
pay for the inspection but you may have a long wait for them to work you
into their schedule. The FAA has, for the most part, delegated the
inspections of homebuilts to DARs. At least they have in my neck of the
woods.
