Al,
I finnally got back in the swing of building. I have almost all the
construction done on the horse pool and the high class horses are beginning
to find me. I got a call tonight from a doctor/owner bringing 2 more in this
week. That means building money! I got the right wing on for the final time
today and all the tank plumbing done as well as the airelon controls. I will
have a wing incidence caliper as well as drive bolts to line up your wing
bolts available to you very soon. Let me know if you will need them. I'm
excited again. I just had to concentrate on the construction project to stay
focused enough to get it done. But now my mind is beginning to wander into
the sky again. I WIIL BE FLYING THIS SUMMER!! I finally got the avionics
shop to finish my radio stack, so now the front skin and wind screen are
also ready to finish. I can't tell you how neat it is to pull down the big
bolts on a wing. You really feel like it's becoming an airplane. I talked to
the FAA inspector at length at a EAA meeting and learned a hell of a lot
about the certification process and some do's and don'ts about the initial
paperwork. This guy is really here to help, unlike many in the FAA. The
first thing he told me was that he gives RV's a 75 mile test range because
he knows we couldn't ever stay inside a 25 mile range that most other
experimentals get. He told me to get it done before he sees it. Leave the
back of the rear bagadge compartment unsecured and all the inspection plates
open. He said I should run the engine and even do some taxi runs if we want
before he sees it. He will only look at it once. After that we are on our
own. When we run off the hours we simply log it and we are free! If you want
to wait to do the aeirobatic testing till later you simply go back into your
original test area and log what manuevers you did, and your good. A change
if the FARS now allows us to fly over populated areas like any certified
aircraft. The guys name is Stan Faske and he will answer any of your
questions with a smile. He really likes homebuilt aircraft.
See ya later,
Tom
