Guys
I spoke with the Harrisburg, Pa. inspection office last week. They will
not do the inspection any more.
He did send a new information package to me and included 3 names of
AB-DAR's. He also wrote a lenghty letter that outlined what they would be
looking for. Most things I knew and had taken care of but there was a
couple surprises too. I will scan the letter and see if someone can post
it in the next couple days. My choices are to pay a fellow $475 or pay
milage from Maryland.
The guy at the FAA inspection office also requested that all
paper work be sent to him for review and if all was correct they would
forward it to the inspector of my choice.
At my current rate of progress I should be ready for inspection in 3
weeks,. Wish me luck
Joe Horton ;-)
