Technical Counselors are experienced airplane builders, restorers, and mechanics who
volunteer their time to visit other EAA members who are in the process of building
or restoring their own aircraft. The goal of the Technical Counselor Program is to help
EAA members present a "Zero Defect" aircraft at its final inspection by the FAA.
You're at that point in your homebuilding project when a second set of eyes looking
over your work sure would be comforting. I can hear the questions in your mind:
Did I really do this right?
Does that look right?
It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your wing rib jig or made
the first glass layups, these folks are around to help. People who can
pat you on the back and say, "No, seriously, it looks fine," or say, "Have
you considered doing it over?" This is a vehicle in which you're going to
defy gravity; it's obviously better to be safe than sorry.
What you need is an EAA Technical Counselor who wants to share their knowledge and
expertise with you.
