One more thing about inspections. If you have a minimum of 3 inspections done by a certified EAA Tech Counselor, you are eligible for a 10% discount on your aircraft insurance. But of course, you should have a lot more than 3 Tech Counselor inspections, right.

Another thing which was suggested by my Tech Counselor was that you enter in your building logs the Tech Counselors inspection dates and highlight them so the FAA sees them easily. He also suggested that the builder do periodic inspections and also log that and highlight it in your builder log. Apparently the FAA loves to see the word inspection in you builders log so make it visible to them.

I think it's a good to say yes, another good idea is to have photos of these inspections and others involved in helping your building activities. I have a aeronautical degree and respect the experience of these people involved in the process.
