John,I put a few pictures on FB (OK, 89 to be exact) in an album for my plane.That would be plenty to convince anyone that I built it, but so would acollection of images in a 'folder' on your computer. One could easily designa simple Excel sheet that would keep track of hours and dollars, too. Funnything is...my FAA inspector never even opened my photo album to view thebuild pictures!! Nor was he interested in the stack of receipts; but that'sall it would take to satisfy the requirement of proving that you built it.Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----
