It must be my locality, being so close to the Air Capital of the World, but
both the DAR I used for my trike, the Mk 3, and the Firestar, and the FAA
inspector who did the Cumulus were all equally thorough. Since I was
bringing previously built aircraft into the system under the LSA
grandfathering clause of FAR 21.191(i)1 I didn't have to have a builder
log, but they each spent about an hour going over the aircraft and another
30 minutes on the paperwork, so it appears the advice to shop around for a
DAR is good. Since they charge upwards of $200 just to show up, I'd suggest
contacting your local EAA chapter as well as other builders in your area to
find a DAR who will give you a thorough inspection without getting hung up
in subjective minutae.

Denny mentioned the wisdom in getting some dual in a Kolb, and I agree, a great
idea. Does anyone know of a Kolb close to Colorado where I might do that? Or
maybe catch someone at a Kolb flyin. I need to find out when those happen.
Sun'n Fun would be ideal, but I was hoping to fly mine before then....
Thanks everyone!
Mike
