| Subject: | RE: Only Pilot on board during flight testing. |
Hi All-
There seems to be an issue of paradigms and frames of reference here. We
have an awful lot of freedom to do as we want building experimental
aircraft, but that level of freedom doesn't transfer to the operational
realm. For a significant number of us it is axiomatic that we will do our
own first flights. No question. So, how to meet the needs of that flight?
Hmmm, another body would be handy.... The problem with that is the FAA's
perspective is one of ensuring safety and avoiding liability. Hence the
requirement for minimum crew for flight testing. The minimum crew for any
RV is one. If the test pilot in question is not up to the challenge of the
moment, the official response will just about guaranteed be to find one
who is. That's pretty much the end of the story, unless someone were to
push the issue. I have known feds who, in that scenario, would likely
start to question the judgement and levels of understanding of the builder.
While not necessarily disastrous, going down that path is not likely to be
pleasant.
FWIW-

Bobby, thanks for that. MY phase 1 for my Pitts didn't have that
wording. I looked. Passengers during phase 1 (or the first flight
either) just weren't covered. But that was in a land long ago ......

Ron, I use the fuzzy side of sticky back Velcro underneath the trailing edge
of the wing skin. 3/4 inch wide I think. Works perfect. You can't see it. My
flaps look as good as day one.

Plastic wear strip for flaps:
I know someone earlier mentioned the most favored type of plastic and
it's source. Does anyone know that one?
Thanks,
