Oui....merci David...j'ai l'inttention de les appeler,mais je voulait avoir l'avis d'un constructeur...

The entire interior of the wing can still be inspected after the leading edge is installed, even with the bottom fabric in place. The rib to spar application is not very pretty, but structurally sound.

I called and asked. I was told by the MD-RA to NOT permenantly bond it until the wing is inspected as they want to so see the spar all the way around.

Good to know:(

Best to ask your MDRA inspector.......

the dumb thing is that if you bought a plane from USA with 100 hours in logbook then they do not inspect inside the wing.

It would not be too nice if they wanted to see after the LE had been installed.

It will vary from inspector to inspector I have found

Good Luck - 32 C in the wind here now brrrrrrrrrrr -21C just outside

Must be really cold there with the humidity from the lakes. Being from Sarnia, I know that -25 in SWO is like -40 in Alberta

[Jfquebec]

Yeah...thank's Dave and Josh for anwser....my LE is has been installed..:(...so i think and i hope than inspector take that like that...:confused:...

-32 this night without wind...:eek:Abitibi

JF, I don't think an MDRA would give you a hard time since you can see in the inside. I had called and showed the instructions and they told me what they thought but that was just one guys opinion. I wouldn't sweat it. Glad to hear your project is moving

[Jfquebec]

I dont think to Josh...my friend martin build a rv-7 and i make an inpection with md-ra...i said it's not very stresful...i dont check every rivet whit a gage..i just look every of them..so ...we gone a wait to seen what happened...and soon ll'e posted some new pic of project...

I agree with Dave, find out who your MDRA Inspector is in your area and ask him. He will be the one you have to satisfy.
I had the Inspector in my area stop by and have a look at things a couple times before the formal inspections , they are usually homebuilders themselves and are very willing to talk airplanes.
