Airworthiness Inspection

We contacted our DAR, Lisa Burwell, early in the week to finish the airworthiness application and schedule the inspection.  A few days later, she called and said she had an opening on Fri, Aug 4, which we immediately agreed on.  The day before, we removed the cowling, turtledeck, footwell panels, and many inspection panels so that everything could be seen during the inspection.  

   She arrived with her husband, who is also an experienced A&P, and they both gave the plane a very thorough inspection.  Lisa also went over all the paperwork to ensure everything was in order.  They gave us a lot of great information and suggestions, and they did find a couple of nuts that were missing cotter pins, which was an easy fix.   Very happy with how the whole process worked and I can definitely recommend Lisa as a DAR.  We passed the inspection, and now have to wait for the FAA to process everything in order to get our airworthiness certification.
