MD-RA/Canadian builders

[Esser]

Hi guys, those of you that have built in Canada, do I need to get a preclose inspection of the front spar before I put the Composite leading edge over it? Any insight would be appreciated.

[Dave F]

I would ask your MDRA inspector.
If just the leading edge I would say no but if you are going over top of the front spar where the ribs are attached it would be MDRA call.

Good Luck

Thanks Dave. I will give them a ring and see what they say. The leading edge may be the last thing I do before cover if that is the case.

Hey Wannafly, I found his email address online and fired him off a quick one. I'll let everyone know the answer. Thanks
