February 20 at 8:45, the FAA Air Worthiness Inspector showed up at my hanger. He introduced himself and spent the next 35 minutes inspecting my airplane. He questioned the length of my pitot tube and recommended shortening it 2 inches. We quickly did this. He then congratulated me, gave me my Air Worthiness Certificate and told me to go flying. It took me and my building partner, Jerry Olsen, about an hour and a half to put all the fairings, panels and inspection covers back on the airplane. We then followed his advice and I flew the airplane What a rush! I can tell you guys, it is worth all the work. It flew hands off on the first flight, all systems were in the green and it flys and performs better than I could ever hoped that it could. So far we have logged 3.5 hours and am looking forward to a lot more. I'll keep you posted.

I always thought the farther away from the plane the more accurate the reading. Cy Galley Editor, EAA Safety Programs cgalley@qcbc.org or sportpilot@eaa.org > > Hi Folks, > Friday.
