Pre-Cover Inspection Requirements. 750 STOL, Canada.
Canadian Pre-Cover Inspection for 750 STOL. Hi all. By now I have bin searching for hours on the MD-RA web site about how far to build the different component for a Zenith 750 for the pre-cover inspections without success. The instructions states that the parts are not to be covered. How did you accomplice this a with a monocoque designed airplane where the skin/cover also has to function as loadbearing structure? If anyone is able and willing to point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Klaus.

Thank you John. How did you handel the situation with the Ruder, Flaperons? In my case there are also the Slats. I hade the same thought about a endoscope with camera. I am living and building 30km. North of Prince George and the inspector is in Vancouver. So I realy like to get it right dhe first time. Klaus.

Good topic!! When building our club 750 Cruzer components we just needed to provide access for inspection. So for parts like the horizontal stab and wings we assembled everything and did not rivet stabilizer and wing top skins. Top skins were drilled but only cleco'd until the pre-cover inspect was done. Only then were they closed up and riveted. It helped that our inspector was located near us so we did not have to pay for travel or try to get everything done in one go... I'd love to see general planning and inspection preparation advice from builders located in a more remote area. I am really curious where using a modern endoscope inspection camera is ok.
