Finish kit should be here in a month!
Other than the non issue of a Dynon satisfying the required equipment
regs.,
the "issue" of the DAR signing off your RV IFR is another misnomer.
You
will only initially be signed off for VFR flight no matter how
extensive
your panel is equipped. The airplane must be flown to perform the
required
testing of the installed IFR equipment, such as my Garmin 430. No
minor or
major alterations need to be performed and as I have said before, I can
legally install, test and sign off the install for IFR operations.
Don't
make such a big deal out of a non issue, your DAR is not going to sign
you
off for IFR anyway, that will be the responsibility of you the
builder.
I won't be trying to hide anything on my inspection but I'll not even
bring
up the subject of IFR as that does not fall into the scope of the DARs
inspection. It is not his business personnally, by regs or by law. He
may
state his personal opinions, but that is all they are opinions. Give
me the
VFR ticket, then I am responsible personnally, by regs and by law.
Put the stuff in and bring on the ramp check.

Hey Guys & Gals. My encounter with IFR in our 6A about a year and a half ago
was as follows................
Since I am not a builder or mechanically inclined, I had an A&P remove the MX
comm and install a G430 & CDI. I contacted FSDO and was told by that one
individual to have an avionics tech sign off the proper installation and operation
of the equipment and go fly.
I am sure it will vary by who u talk to but that was our situation and all
went well.
I agree that the DAR has NOTHING to do with IFR. That is part of being
EXPERIMENTAL. Good Luck.

Good answer...
I've been doing some digging...Your right...Thanks...
The DAR does not have anything to say weather it is IFR or not...But in his mind
he does...Well...You know how that goes...
I originally thought the DAR has to sign off on the IFR tests during the test phase...But
no...and you don't have to test your IFR until after your test phase...But
before you fly IFR...
This has been good...
I Hate the FAR's and the FAA speak...Why can't they just say what they want...and
not the junk that is written in the FAR's
