REFLECTOR: Annual Inspection Question

[Dave Philipsen]

As an example, I bought my Velocity from the original builder.  I do all 
of the maintenance myself.  Last year, when it was time for the 
condition inspection, I worked on it under the supervision of an A&P.  
When I finished and he was satisfied, he signed it off.  My A&P also 
happens to be building an experimental airplane himself.  It helps if 
you find one who understands the concept.  It also helps if you keep him 
informed of all of the work that you do on the plane.
