  Tex,

 A condition inspection check list (experimental aircraft do conditions  inspections on an annual basis) is in one of the previous  newsletters.  But so you don't have to look for it (sorry we don't have an  index of info/articles - hint to list readers, we need someone to do that) I  will put it below.  Or the EAA web site has one that covers any  experimental.  I think Linda Mathias developed the one below specifically  for the Lightning based on the one published by EAA.

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Don’t forget that when you sign off a annual condition inspection you are affirming that you have inspected the aircraft “in accordance to the scope and detail of CFR14 section 43 appendix D” .  Since you are attesting that you’ve inspected according to Appendix D it would not hurt to take a look at it to make sure you are in compliance.  

   

Appendix D can be found on line at the FAA.gov web site:  

   

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=9d5c15a45fd84776a463e6ae9f3932fa&rgn=div9&view=text&node=14:1.0.1.3.21.0.363.14.55&idno=14    

   

Ever wondered why you need to do a compression check at the annual condition inspection?  Look at paragraph (d)  sub paragraph (3) in the appendix for the answer.  

   

Pete
