GUys,
The Head of the FAA was there, gave the preflight inspection and gave me the pilot
in command authorization for one touch and go around the airport. special
airworthiness certificate signed off by the head of the regional FAA. This plane
is signed off by the FAA to have only 15 hours to fly off. Both me and another
pilot who is an FAA inspector willl fly off the hours.
Juan

He was also the pilot, not the safety pilot.? Even though I thoroughly
disagree with it, I have been told many times, emphatically, that having two
people in the airplane before the 40 hour (or in some cases 25 hour) test period
has been flown off is a violation of the regulations for an experimental airplane.
