Today I passed my airworthiness inspection!
Dean Singleton from the Portland, OR (Hillsboro) FSDO came down to do the inspection. The inspection took approximately two hours.
The inspection was not as thorough as I had expected. In fact, the inspector failed to notice six nuts that I had not tightened down on the back side of my prop bolts! He also did not ask to see my pilot operating handbook.
Early on, the inspector seemed to be looking at things very closely but then started making comments about how impressed he was with the detail I had put into the construction. After that he seemed to be less thorough. I belive that if he would have found something wrong early on, he would have continued a thorough inspection of the entire plane.
