The FAA inspector sprinkled holy water on my KR-2 last week. He made the comment that he really enjoyed inspecting homebuilts, because he got to see some neat innovations and some new construction techniques. He went on to say that inspecting "spam cans" usually involved hours of paper shuffling, and sometimes he didn't even get to see the plane.
The impression I have is that they really enjoy their contact with home builders, but their priorities are commercial aircraft manufacturers first, then parts suppliers, then homebuilts. Jim Vance Claflin, Kansas va...@hbcomm.net
