Make sure the plane has been to the FSDO before. If not, I wouldn't count on the airplane making it through the FSDO maintenance inspection. They ALWAYS find something wrong with it if they are not familiar with it.

Exactly, I did the MEI as the initial and I dont think the FSDO examiner ever had any intention of flying. He grounded the airplane within the first 2 minutes and then wrote up 20 random squawks and told us to call him when it was done.
I jumped through 10,000 hoops and went to a designated examiner for my initial MEI after that instead of messing around with the FSDO.

I did my initial CFI-A in my own airplane. I called the FSDO and asked for a courtesy inspection of my airplane and its logbooks a few weeks before my checkride. They sent an inspector out and he spent a few hours going over everything with a fine tooth comb.
