I am about to finish up my horizontal stabilizer, and before I rivet on the rear spar I want to make sure I don't miss any chances for an inspector to take a look.
I am in the US, and I plan on applying for the repairman certificate once this plane is done. However, I am not 100% sure on when I should have inspections done to appease the FAA to get an airworthiness and repairman certificate(s).
Does a DAR come out an inspect the plane when its near flight ready and issue the certificate then? Or do they need to come out periodically during the build to "sign-off" on your progress?
I am planning on having an EAA tech counselor come by before I rivet on the rear spar, to make sure I am on track and doing things right, but I am looking for clarification on what needs to be done for the official FAA inspections.
Thanks!
