The EAA Flight Advisor program helps with everything from finding the right instructor
 and planning a first flight to determining the types of additional training needed. More
 than 500 flight advisors counsel members considering purchasing an aircraft,
preparing for flight in a newly built or restored aircraft, or looking to transition to a
high performance or unfamiliar aircraft. Only EAA Members can take advantage of
the complimentary services of a Flight Advisor.

You’re at that point in your homebuilding project when a second set of eyes looking
over your work sure would be comforting. I can hear the questions in your mind:

Did I really do this right? Does that look right?

It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your wing rib jig or made the first glass
 layups, if you're feeling insecure, there's folks around to help.

People who’ve been there and done that, people who know the marvels of the
aviation world, such as your new Stumpfire Belchwing, like the back of their hand.
People who can pat you on the back and say, "No, seriously, it looks fine," or say,
"Have you considered doing it over?" This is a vehicle in which you're going to defy
 gravity; it's obviously better to be safe than sorry.

EAA Technical Counselors are experienced airplane builders, restorers, and mechanics
 who volunteer their time to visit other EAA members who are in the process of
building or restoring their own aircraft. The goal of the Technical Counselor Program is
 to help EAA members present a “zero defect” aircraft at its final inspection by the FAA.

What you need is an EAA Technical Counselor! These folks are experienced,
volunteer advisors who want to share their knowledge and expertise with you.
