Brian, As an EAA Tech Counselor, I've never charged a cent for any Tech Counselor related work, although I think one person did buy me lunch. It's simply against the rules. With regards to Mark's comment about a tech counselor charging to fill out and sign a logbook, that is expressly outside of the Technical Counselor's job, so I would assume that he was probably offering that service as an A&P mechanic. I have only put entries into a builders log as a duplicate of the form that I fill out and send to the EAA. The builder should keep a copy of the form and put it in or with his builders log anyway. -Jeff Scott
