I'm taking apart a Tcraft with the understanding there will be some
rust apparent. My plan is to have the fuselage cleaned, repaired and
primed by my regular IA, with me doing the same to smaller parts i.e.
rudder, stabilizers, ailerons. My regular IA is an hour away; the local
EAA chapter has IAs more convenient.

I know an IA has to make an "OK to cover" entry in the log, but how
does one get the smaller parts signed off as they are cleaned up and
ready for covering?

One approach would be to bring EVERYTHING to my IA all at once; Another
would be to bring in pieces at a time.

How can a IA issue an "OK to cover" unless he sees the complete
a/c? - Mike


I don't think he can. Why not have the IA do his thing on the big stuff and
when you have completed the little stuff take it all to him and have him do
the "OK to cover" sign off all at once? Since he did the work on the big
parts all he will check is the small parts.
