I followed the advice I got saying to contact them before you start building, discuss with them the plane and all that....the guy told me (St. Louis FSDO) you don't call them until you're ready for final inspection. I talked to the guy for some time on the phone and asked him a ton of questions about how they handle picking up an unfinished project and the 51% rule and what information they look at with regard to build logs, pictures, etc. Sounded like a nice enough guy, even if he was an FAA guy :) He was very open and down to earth....gave fairly common sense type answers.
