Douwe,Have available a scrapbook of photos showing the build in progress. Inparticular, show every pic you can of you actually working on the plane.Not only does it help qualify you for your "Repairman's Certificate", butthe inspector is likely to get engrossed at looking at the pictures and notask many questions (at least that's what happened with mine).I had a W&B spreadsheet which I showed to the inspector. He never asked fora flight manual (not necessary if you have placards and various "V" speedsmarked on your airspeed indicator). I made up a compass correction card,then swung the compass later.I don't believe a minimum equipment list is necessary unless you will beusing the plane in commercial operation, which as a homebuilt, you can't do.As I mentioned to Dan Helsper, have in mind what you want for a test areaand ask for it - otherwise you will be stuck with whatever the inspectorthinks is appropriate. As long as you justify what you're asking for,you'll probably get it.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

For all you wing builders, I am planing on building my wings (3-piece) completely then take the fittings off to varnish the wood. Is this ok or is this going to screw something up?ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.com________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: what is a "flight manual" and an "equipment list"

If you chose to do a MEL, be aware that if anything you put on the list does notwork, you cannot legally fly the aircraft. I would not put anything otherthan Altimeter, Airspeed, Tachometer, oil pressure gauge on it. As stated above,you do not need one for your aircraft. Sometimes, Inspectors will ask forone just to see what you say or do.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hey guys I'm looking for a Continental 65 or 85 engine.... I know everybody's looking for them so I'm just throwing it out there. Doesn't have to be low time (higher cost). If you have one sitting in the corner of your hangar let me know.....Contact me on my private email....Charles Burkholder________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: what is a "flight manual" and an "equipment list"
