RE: EF-1 at the 2013 US NATS
Dave,
Glad you can make it.
#1: Tech inspection will be at the pylon site on Sunday. Scale has the field until about 1:30 and then it is ours to use. However, I plan on getting to the field around 11:00 and I will start inspection when I arrive. Both Jerry Small and I will be doing the Tech Inspection.
#2: We will have a go/no-go gauge. This is a simple fix, put a small pc of wood or plastic between the cowl and the fuselage right at the mounting screws and you will make the proper width. I will have some of these filler parts available if needed. And NO this is not a show stopper at all!
#3: Best of Show will be judged at the same sight starting at 5:30 pm.
#4: Good question, yes you are still eligible since your intention was to compete. IF you willingly switch to a different airplane that is a completely different story.
I would check the NMPRA website for additional details. And please send either Lonnie or I an email and we will work on your NMPRA account access.
Regards,
Dan
