N-Number Inspection

We have signed up to have our ppcs inspected at the end of this month for our N-Numbers. We have been working on our machines to get them ready, and I believe we are very close to having them done. We are having them inspected in Amherst Va by what I have been told was the first person to ever fly a powered parachute. He flew the first one at the University of Notre Dame. I guess he probably didn't realize what he was starting and it will be a pleasure to meet the man that started it all. I will have to say he must pretty crazy or very brave to be the first one to leave the ground in an open cart supported only by a big parachute.
I hope that we want have any problems w/ the inspection, but since this is the first time any of us have had to do anything like this it should prove to be very interesting. We have not been flying much lately due to weather, busy schedules, and trying to get the machines ready. Hopefully after all of this is done we will be back to flying on a regular basis and can put all of these headaches behind us.
