HOBBS Meter: 2452 Construction Hours
Its official! RV-8 N998RV was officially signed off by the FAA this afternoon, April 22 2010 at 1:15 PM PDT! Yahoo! I was issued my Special Airworthiness Certificate and Repairman Certificate and the obligatory entry was made in the aircraft's logbook. A special Phase 1 test-flight area was agreed upon and extends from Livermore to Stockton to Merced to Lost Banos and back to Livermore.
Next week I go up to Oregon to get my Transition Training from Mike Seager ( http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/trainfly.htm ) and after that, its time to test fly!
YAHOO!!! I can't believe its signed off and the test flight is this close! How exciting!

My Congratulation also Matt. You have accomplished a very significant
milestone in the life of an "aviation freak". Now you get to enjoy the next
phase....and don't forget to remind yourself while flying your beautiful
creation...."dam, I built this wonderful machine!"

Matt does not need to be reminded that he built his plane, all he needs to
do is click a bookmark on one of his screens to review his builder site
online or better yet watch his first engine start, first flight etc... on
his various displays while he is flying.
Great work Matt, I can't wait to see the paint scheme you selected. I
thought you may just paint the plane theater screen white and mount some
HD projectors in the wingtips so you can project any paint scheme you wish
whenever you want. P-51 for formation flying, Gulfstream 550 for cross
country flights and of course rusted old Cessna 150 for when the tax
collector shows up.
Magnificent build and a real testament to Technology, Vans Aircraft and
your Craftsmanship. Even your proseal looked marvelous.
Come visit us at SBP once Phase 1 is complete.
