    One other asked and I will too. So what is it you think the guys in Wisconsin should be doing to get an inspection done on your plane? Perhaps you would rather go back to the some 35 years ago when the condition inspections had to be done by your local GADO office? There were no "Repairman Certificates", and an A&P or A&P/IA also wasn't qualified to inspect an E-AB plane. Only an FAA Airworthiness Inspector. If it wasn't for the EAA, you would be in the position of begging your local FSDO to send out an inspector to do your inspection, and they would get to you.... eventually... with the typical speed and care shown by the FAA. The quality of the inspection was poor at best, but your paperwork had better be perfect.

    That is what the EAA has done for you as an E-AB owner. Currently, they are working to keep your flight privileges without unnecessary cost, paperwork and unnecessary medical testing. The EAA does not have a staff of mechanics to send out to perform your inspections. As an owner, you have to do a few things for yourself.
