Yes, you state that you'll travel up there to assist, but with you in NC, are you really going to be able to logistically be that involved? The FAA likes to review the builder logs, and it's always encouraged to have pics of YOU being involved. There's builder assist and build-for-hire. The latter, depending on how it's documented, *might* be a point of concern for the FAA.
