Tech Inspection

11/22/09 – The plan is to arrange for an EAA tech counselor to take a look at my wing skeletons before I put on the skins.  In all honesty, I question the need for this with the RV-12 kit.

11/23/09 – Called the local tech counselor and made arrangements for him to come check my work tomorrow morning.  Whee!

11/24/09 – Swing and a miss.  The tech counselor blew off our morning meeting.  When I eventually got ahold of him, he said he’d come by tonight.

Update:  I’m a little concerned about the local tech counselor.  When I contacted him this morning, he said that he’d forgotten about our meeting at 10am (which we’d scheduled only 14hrs before).  We agreed on 6:30pm tonight for the inspection.  Note that these were his chosen times.  At 1:30pm I got a call on my cell phone from the counselor, asking me why he couldn’t find my address (he’d written it down wrong).  I corrected the address for him, but told him that I was now at work because we had agreed on 6:30pm.  “Oh.  Okay.” was the response.  At 6:30pm (and on)…no tech counselor.  To say that my confidence level with this guy is low would be a dramatic understatement.  I will be looking for another nearby counselor to sign off on my wing skeletons.  Obviously, this won’t happen before Thanksgiving.  Oh well.
