   Rib tail reinforcement

   I've been unable to locate the AD (or whatever it was) on reinforcing the wood ribtails on the IV. Anybody have a source?

   Thanks for your answer.  FAR 91 says a personal or automatic ELT is required. What is meant by personal? Do any of the handheld PLB's meet that requirement?

   ELT

   I have an older AK-450 ELT that was taken out of a certificated aircraft about a year ago. Wonder about its suitability in an experimental. What are you guys using?

   Registration

   Any recommended tutorials for filling out form 8050-1 registration application? I'm not requesting a special number. Also, I bought it as an unfinished kit from a person who was not the original owner. No paper trail.

   Trim tab hinge

   I don't think I have the correct hinge for my elevator trim tab (according the the drawings in my manual). Wondering what I should order. I'm thinking probably the extruded aluminum piano hinge from Spruce. .040 thick maybe?

    Airworthiness inspections

    What is your experience with DAR's? Did they want to see the build in stages? Do they want to supervise the build? Or just one inspection after completion?
