It's my fault of course. I thought I'd made it clear I needed a plane to finish the installation instructions and certification on a STOCK plane. Mine was not acceptable because I could not conform my installation to the installation instructions. It's a long story but that's the way the FAA works. So, Jeff Keesaman stepped to the plate. He brought his plane up here 6 weeks ago. The first set of tests were interesting. I had to do (compnay test) all of the proposed testing on a stock plane to get a base-line. Then, once I was happy with the results, hire a DER to get an FAA approved flight test plan. Then, once the the approved test plan was in hand, redo the tests with the stock plane. Those tests are completed. It took 4 hours to remove the original cowling and baffles from the stock plane and another 6 hours to install the new baffles and relocate a few wires. Oddly, the baffles that fit on the first plane didn't fit everywhere on the second plane. Very weird. Today, I finish up the baffles and trial fit the cowling. ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
