|
I mailed my paperwork in to the FAA to register my N177RM as E-LSA on 8-15-07. My Mk ll completed the flight worthy inspection today, 9-27-07. I have 5 hrs to fly off.......My DAR didn't like my prop bolts, didn't have enough threads showing. He said my ELT remote, needed the battery expiration date labeled on it even though I had it listed in my logbook. He wanted me to safety wire my carb bowl clips to the engine to keep them from coming lose until I told him it was part of my preflight to check for water in bowls and would have to rewire them every time, then he said not to worry about it since I checked the clips every time I flew...... He was very thorough, used flashlight and mirror, but was helpful as he had owned and flew planes like this before. Generally it was a good experience.....He told me the big rush to certify ELSA's the FAA had anticipated was not happening. Ive got a feeling used parts might be a little cheaper next year!....I know I feel so much better knowing Big Brother will be watching me now!.....All in all, Im glad I got off my lazy butt and got it done......Mike

Congratulations Mike!
I hope my MK II inspection goes as well as yours!
There are a couple guys around here who haven't sent in their paperwork for their ELSAs. I keep encouraging them to get on the ball. There may be a last minute rush yet.

Great news Mike.
I found the process logical and easy to follow. I am glad I got off my butt too and got it done.
For me, being able to legalize my illegal plane was terrific. I just could not fly illegal and I could not lie to get it legal under the AB rule. The E LSA fit my situation.
You have a nice looking bird Mike. Fly safe.
Jim

Mike, Getting with the program must vary quite a bit by area. When the MIDO guys came to our EAA chapter meeting last week the E-LSA guy told how he he'd done 17 PPC's in one day!
For you guys out there dithering on this, it's time to **** or get off the pot.
