RV-12 Glare Shield

[Bill_H]

I do not know if this vendor is an advertiser or not (where's the list?) but at showplanes.com is a new RV12 glare shield. looks very interesting. I have requested an additional picture to the ones they have, one taken at pilots eye level with the canopy closed.

Can you only do that after the pink slip?

Technically yes. I would also wait (E-LSA) because it is so darn obvious a change for anyone familiar with the -12! Minor things you can perhaps work out with your DAR ahead of time. There is a line of common sense (extra tie wraps not on the plans?) but don't push it.

Its not a DAR issue...they don't audit your plans...they determines if the plane is airworthy. The technicality you refer to is the signed statement that you provide him/her stating that you built it as required by the manufacturer (who is named as the builder).

Hmmm. Good theory. I think that there are DARs on the forum that would not agree with it, however, and also see their role as verifying the built-per-plans condition in order to grant the E-LSA registration. Some seem more anal about it than others, based on the many posts I've read.
