Hi guys,

 

I am assuming that the bi-annual transponder and static system check

needs to be accomplished before I have the final FAA inspection on my

new RV-8.  If so, can any of you direct me to someone who wouldn't mind

traveling to Gold Hill Airpark to do this for me at a reasonable rate?

 

Perhaps I can get the final inspection without having the transponder

check if I don't fly anywhere a transponder is required or if I just

don't have the transponder installed???  Give me your $00.02.

I didn't have mine checked until almost a year after the first flight. 

The DAR didn't even mention it. When I had it done (full IFR check) I 

had to take the RV to the shop to get it done.

My FAA inspector was indifferent about it.  Suggest to your inspector that

it be done after you can fly to a apt with that service.  I did mine at

8A7.

Someone mentioned a few weeks ago a shop or maybe person who was very 

in-expensive for Xponder checks.... Who was that and where?  I know mine 

works properly but need to get that written in my log book.



Also my radio is acting up from time to time. A Mitchell MX11   Who is best 

to see on that?

Ron I just had Tom from Piedmont Hawthorne at the Monroe County Airport do my check.  He was Great.  Also I left a gallon of R/C engine fuel outside your hanger door I think is still good.  I also left the cut off disk just inside your door.

I agree with Cappy.  Also I had my Pitot/Static system checked for leaks and accuracy.

Ron: 

If you are outside the Vail of class B then you can fly the plane with the  

transponder OFF until you get it certified.(watch your operating  limitations) 

You can only use the transponder/encoder while it is  in certification. 

The guy at Ashboro did me a great and reasonable job on my transponder  check 

and he is close to you. Air Associates, Jerry Jeffers I think is his name. 

There is quite a few others around, RUQ, Carolina Avionics, Spitfire  

Aviation in Concord, Lou Vasquez at Wadesboro, and the guys at Twin Lakes and  the 

guys at Monroe. 

I saw him today at Goose Creek doing a RV6a cert.

Ron: 

If yours is not signed off it aint certified. Dont fly under class B  

airspace. Get it certified. 

The guy from Monroe was at the creek today. 

Remember, its a Part 91 rule to have a transponder/encoder on while flying  

under class B airspace. And to have it certified while using it.

Ron, the folks at Ashboro did my transponder check for $65.  Also sent me a 

card reminding that it was in need to the two year check up.  Nice flight up 

and there is a nice small museum on the field
