Dennis, that is exactly what happened in my case. The inspector was very thorough and spotted a few small items that needed to be corrected. After these were corrected there was a second inspection and all items passed. I would expect that there is a big difference in inspectors but I'm glad we had one of the best. The mandatory flights went off just fine. After all that I had a good feeling about the safety of our airplane. This has proven out in practice.

As you can imagine from my comments, I am a strong advocate of the AMA Experimental Aircraft program.

There is one large RC club in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that has voted to exclude 55 to 100 pound planes from flying at their field even with the required AMA waiver. Of course, they have the right to do this but it just doesn't seem right to me. Fortunately there are several other fields in the area where we can fly this plane.
