Great to see that they finally got over there. Do you have to call them back for another inspection or just put in the logbook that you made the corrections?

Gigged items for correction, some minor some alittle more involved: 1) He did not like where previous builder had elongated the mounting holes to allow aligning of the 2 brackets. He said he wants to see just the correct diameter hole in 4130 steel for the brackets. 2) He wants the elevator bracket that attaches the pushtube to be welded to the torque tube, not bolted as I have now. 3) He wants the interference of the bottom 2 mounting bolts of the stick bracket with full aft stick on aileron movement eliminated. 4) Some placards were missing/fallen off; oil pressure/temp gauges need limit markings on them; choke needs id label; compass correction card needs to be installed. 5) One cotter pin was missing/omitted from one of the bolts for the aileron cables, needs installing. 6) Fuel tank needs label for type and quantity of fuel. 7) CDI ignition needs longer stud, stud stops before exiting the nut (about halfway inside it). 8) Battery box needs lid since I have a "wet" battery. 9) The oil pressure copper line needs a 360 degree loop added just before attaching to engine as cushion relief. 10) All engine wiring needs to be secured through out its run, and not to any that can rub it into shorting out. He recommended using terminal strips, and run bundles along the firewall. Where it was necessary to secure to the motor mounts or similar structure, use 2 tie wraps, one around the metal and through the 2nd tie wrap, and the 2nd tie wrap around the wiring to "stand " the wiring off from the metal so it cannot rub through it. Rubber insulating grommets applied to anything that passes through metal. Not bad for first outing, most is minor and easily taken care of. This Inspector was from the FSDO and was very nice, accompanied by a junior Inspector who was very nice as well. They were also very helpful and instructional on how to bring the plane up to "standard". Overall a pleasant experience, and encouraging information that with the corrections made, N96TA will get her Airworthiness Certificate and we can begin the test flying.
