Guys I don't believe it is a matter of having nothing to do with us. I dealt with the same office as Kenny. The men I talked to there said that they loved to do them, but it became an issue of economics and man power (at least in their office) They could not keep up with the issues that the

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 shuffli
