Mark, You may not like what I am about to tell you but it is only intended to help you. "Hoping" that your project will qualify as an aircraft will not help. There are very specific steps and that you must follow in order to assure that your project qualifies. I'm very surprised that your DAR did not go over the steps with you. I just went through the process and my DAR gave me a checklist to follow. It is attached. This assured that I was not wasting his or my time. You do not need a log book you need at least 4. A builders log, an airframe log, a propeller log and an engine log. If you have everything that is on the list then you are prepared for your airworthiness inspection. Otherwise you may want to postpone until you are ready. If the DAR is charging for every time he
comes out, it may cost you more to have several inspections if you are not ready the first time. Hope this helps you to have a successful inspection. Jim

Hopefully it will qualify as an airplane once he's done. He mentioned to me to be sure to have my airframe logbook so that he can make his required log entry. (Here's the problem.) I don't have a logbook yet. But according to an A&P on the Lancair list, the logbook can be done in 3-ring binder format, or even on computer. I would like to make one up in the 3-ring binder format, but don't have any idea of what's
required. Anyone on the list been through this and have a page format they are willing to share? Mark S.
