Labels - 1.0 hour (494 Total)

While taking the 16-hour course to get my inspection rating for my E-LSA, I learned that I had made a couple of mistakes on my airplane.

The first mistake was that I put Rans down as the builder of my airplane. I had done this on my application for airworthness certificate and on the serial number plate I installed onto my plane. The FAA confirmed this and had me resubmit some of my paperwork.

The hard part was getting a new serial number plate, engraving it, rolling it, and then replacing the old one.
















I also learned how a trim tab works and how the airflow over it effects control surfaces. This meant that I needed to replace the sticker I placed on trim tab wheel. Luckily I hadn't thrown out the other sticker Rans provided.
