From: "robisons" Do I need someone to check my welds on my GN-1 tail feathers before covering them? I'm confident that my welds are good. Does the FAA inspector care? Do I need a tech counselor to sign the log? When should I call the tech counselor? My problem is that there is no one near that is familiar with welding. Everything is powder coated in gry and ready to go. Thoughts, comments...

The FAA inspector won't care. Having a tech counselor look at your project before covering would be a good idea, just to have another set of eyes look at your fasteners, cable runs, pulleys, etc, and the FAA inspector would like to see evidence of that visit in your logbooks. I had one tech counselor visit only and that was early in the project. Inspecting welds at your stage would be next to impossible. The way the rules for your airworthiness certificate are laid out, Phase One of flight testing is to prove that you have built an airworthy airplane, when its only your butt on board. I'm sure you can find a tech counselor in your area that would be glad to take a peek.

My hangar-mate Craig Wall and I flew out to Old Kingsbury for the open house and fly-in. It was a gorgeous day to be flying, if a bit chilly, and we had a great time getting there. Then on arrival, we found a huge, wide grass landing area (more than just a runway... it is VERY wide). Taxied up to find Kevin Purtee already there and comfortable, and we had a nice time making introductions and looking at the airplanes. Scout looks like a 7/8 scale model of Fat Bottomed Girl... Kevin's plane sits higher, looks longer, the cockpits look cavernouos compared to Scout's, and that long, straight one-piece wing-! It's a beautiful Air Camper. So we spent a couple of hours looking at neat old machines and meeting some nice people, bu that wasn't the high point. We taxied out well ahead of Kevin and took off to the west, climbed to cruise altitude, and got settled in on our first leg over to New Braunfels municipal airport. We were enjoying the view when all of a sudden I noticed a movement and there was Fat Bottomed Girl, forming up on our right wing! That chubby girl is FAST! Kevin had taken off and climbed out well behind us, then zoomed up to join. The sun was absolutely perfect for that view of his plane (he was looking almost directly into the sun), the color of his plane against the farms and fields and the beautiful blue sky- it's too bad I didn't think to take a picture. No, I sat there and ack-ack'ed some fake .30 cal machine gun fire at him instead ;o) Thanks for a very nice afternoon, and a pretty airplane, Axel. Ya done good!
