So All of the modifications to the 180 are complete but im having some issues with getting everything signed off. I was working with my IA who was supervising and was going to do the final inspections and sign everything off in the log books and 337s. My issue is that he was let go from our old company and had to relocate to the western US before the work was complete.

I have asked a few IAs around the airport but all seem too busy or not interested. I have the option of flying the original guy out to NC but that will put me over budget and he is not immediately available.

Luckily all of the modifications were straight forward simple STCs that involved bolting stuff on without any structural modifications etc. I have good PDF document packages that include copies of the STCs, Instructions, 8130-3s and draft Form 337s with details of the work completed.

Looking for someone near the Charlotte, NC area (14A Lake Norman Airpark) that would be willing to work with me to get this legally signed off. If we need to crack all the torque seal and remove and re-torque components then so be it.

If anyone knows anyone that fits the above description in the area please let me know. I head back to the Middle East in a week or two and our Alaska trip is just around the coroner when I return.
