Your purchase of the Jump-Start Fuselage Option in no way changes the legal and
practical reality that
you
are the manufacturer of your GlaStar. When it comes time for
the final airworthiness inspection,
you
will be the one who is called on to prove that the
aircraft has been properly constructed. And when it comes to time for the first flight,
you
will be the one who is betting his or her life that you were right!
Naturally, Stoddard-Hamilton has applied very high standards to our Jump-Start
fuselage production, and the point of the foregoing reminders is not to raise suspicions
about the quality of the option you have purchased. Nevertheless, the prudent builder
will inspect and ensure the quality of the workmanship and construction of the Jump-
Start fuselage just as diligently as if it had been built from scratch. In particular, the
checklists under “Fastener Inspection and Safetying” in “S

should be followed to the letter
, irrespective of the Jump-Start option.
