Inspector for annual on TC's sailplane in Seminole FL airport area?

One of the down sides of a type certified sailplane is it requires an
aircraft inspector, not just a mechanic, to do the annual.

These guys are sometimes hard to find.

Anyone know of an inspector in the vicinity of Lake Seminole Gliderport,
Florida , which is about 30 miles west of Orlando?

If the folks at Seminole Lakes can't help you, check with Tampa Bay
Soaring Society, about 38 road miles SW of Seminole Lakes.

Ask Seminole as one of the mechanics, Russell Brown, can perform
annual inspections

Russell Brown is an aircraft mechanic, not an inspector. He can't do annuals
on TC'd aircraft.

I've sent him the name of a glider experienced IA in the general
area. Maybe they'll connect.

The local mechanic will know which IA he has worked with on glider
inspections in the
recent past. Or, you can call your local FSDO office and ask them for
the listing of local
IAs, since I can't seem to find it through the faa.gov website any
longer. . . .
at least, not tonight.

Here's some folks who would know who else locally holds an Inspector
Authorization

which is all I could get to in a short attempt on faa.gov.
