    From: lee.logan@gulfstream.com
    --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: lee.logan@gulfstream.com Just a reminder about the fly-in we are holding in Ridgeland (3J1) on 13 May. I think most of you know about this already; more later, but it is on the SERV calendar already. Point is, the glider club at Ridgeland has three large open bay hangars which will be available all day the 13th (they'll be flying). If the "fly market" idea works well or if it works out that you all can wait until May, we would have a pretty good venue there for it. If someone in SERV wants to take advantage of the fly-in and our covered spaces to put on a "market", please let me know and I'll work something out with the club. Lee...

Larry Bowen and I would try to put on. Most of our get togethers now involve flying to destinations ... we started as a builders group with no flying planes ... this could give the local builders a chance to see lots of RVs and get some deals too !! Thoughts behind it would be a "Fly Market" type approach where you could buy or sell all those left over parts or instruments ....we could set up display tables, etc and have builders from all around come in to either buy or sell. I know I have enough extra items to build another plane .... Would love to get some feedback and gauge interest ??

I can see how that will be very handy with all the 8-32 Allen cap screws you used on the tank covers and I will use throughout my -9. I also bought the 5 pc.

    Subject: "Miss Izzy" Flies!
    --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Ron Schreck" <ronschreck@alltel.net> Hi fellow aviators, The FAA finally showed up this morning, looked over the airplane and my paperwork and bestowed upon me an Airworthiness Certificate for my RV-8, "Miss Izzy". The guy was here for less than 20 minutes! He never got closer than 4 feet from the airplane and scanned my 80-page test program in less than 10 seconds! I wasn't counting on an inspection as I have had two visits from EAA Tech Counselors and my friend Jerry Cornwell (AI) spent about 2 hours with a flashlight and mirror looking over the plane this past Sunday. I called Steve Glasgow and told him to be here by 5 PM to help out with the first flight. Steve and Lynn showed up and so did several neighbors and we all waited for my wife, Kathy to get home from work. She arrived at 5:25 and I was airborne less than 15 minutes later. The flight went without a hitch. The engine ran smooth, cool and powerful. The EFIS and radios worked flawlessly and the plane flew straight as an arrow. The only "correction" needed is a bit of right rudder trim. I only flew for about 25 minutes, established a stall buffet at 54 knots clean, 52 knots with half flaps and 49 knots with full flaps. After a low pass of the airfield with the smoke system billowing I touched down and did my best to suppress the cheesy RV grin. It didn't work. I'm still grinning! I sent some pictures to Larry Bowen, so he should have those on the SERV web site soon. The plane has a Lycoming IO-360 with Aerosport fuel injection, dual Lightspeed electronic ignitions and a Whirlwind 200RV constant speed prop. The panel has dual GRT EFIS, SL-30 comm/nav, Garmin 327 transponder, Trio autopilot with altitude hold. Interior is by Flightline Interiors, belts from Hooker and paint is Imron applied in my homemade paint booth. I'll be tearing up the 50-mile radius around Gold Hill Airpark (NC25) for the next 40 hours. Hope to have Phase I done in time for Sun-N-Fun. Thanks to Steve Glasgow for lending a third hand whenever needed and providing lots of back seat time. I'll be seeing you all a bit more now that I have wings. Ron Schreck RV-8, Flying... 0.4 hours Gold Hill Airpark

Steve and Lynn showed up and so did several neighbors and we all waited for my wife, Kathy to get home from work. She arrived at 5:25 and I was airborne less than 15 minutes later. The flight went without a hitch. The engine ran smooth, cool and powerful. The EFIS and radios worked flawlessly and the plane flew straight as an arrow. The only "correction" needed is a bit of right rudder trim. I only flew for about 25 minutes, established a stall buffet at 54 knots clean, 52 knots with half flaps and 49 knots with full flaps. After a low pass of the airfield with the smoke system billowing I touched down and did my best to suppress the cheesy RV grin. It didn't work. I'm still grinning! I sent some pictures to Larry Bowen, so he should have those on the SERV web site soon. The plane has a Lycoming IO-360 with Aerosport fuel injection, dual Lightspeed electronic ignitions and a Whirlwind 200RV constant speed prop. The panel has dual GRT EFIS, SL-30 comm/nav, Garmin 327 transponder, Trio autopilot with altitude hold. Interior is by Flightline Interiors, belts from Hooker and paint is Imron applied in my homemade paint booth. I'll be tearing up the 50-mile radius around Gold Hill Airpark (NC25) for the next 40 hours. Hope to have Phase I done in time for Sun-N-Fun. Thanks to Steve Glasgow for lending a third hand whenever needed and providing lots of back seat time. I'll be seeing you all a bit more now that I have wings. Ron Schreck RV-8, Flying... 0.4 hours Gold Hill Airpark

I'm curious about the serial number on the tail -- how did you pick it? 44-72258 is a North American P-51D-20-NA Mustang (c/n 122-38717) that was sold to Swiss AF back in 1948, and subsequently registered J-2066 over there.
