    Good luck! I have had a ton of fun with mine. Looking forward to finishing also though.

    Like others, I dated and signed my build log and took a bunch of pictures. I made it available but my DAR didn't really look at it. I never thought much about it, but I didn't need the repairman's certificate.

    Thanks Phil. Does anyone get the faa inspectors or whatever they are called out? It seams everyone uses DARs.

    A DAR is not a FAA employee but a contractor. You can use a FAA inspector, they dont cost but my local fsdo told me its a 8-10 month wait. That is why most use a DAR.

    Only needed one set of reamers and we built two airplanes! No lube either, so they held up nicely.

    Hi Harlan,

    I think it's just add & mix until you get the consistency that you want.

    I'm looking at superfil on Aircraft spruce website and they offer several different ones, which one do I need to order for wingtips and general fill work before covering?
