I mite add the FAA will ask questions, like do you belong to the EAA and has a EAA Technical Counselor seen the construction. 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.
