S/N 40286 has been approved to fly as of 1200 today. The experience was
great and the DAR was great to work with. He was very thorough and
fortunately had nothing mechanical to speak of, just recommended I tidy up
the wiring behind the panel some. Nothing to keep me from flying right then
and there (aside from the fact all the inspection panels were removed)!
However, I'm going to hold off until next Saturday to fly to get all the
panels back on and give my Dad a chance to fly down and be part of the
festivities.
For anyone interested, I opted for the following equipment:
Aerosport IO-540-D4A5 with Lightspeed ignition and one Magneto
Grand Rapids dual EFIS and EIS
Dynon EFIS (as my backup)
Garmin 430 audio, 480 GPS Nav/Comm, SL-30 Nav/Comm and 327 Xpdr
DVD player with popout/swivel screen (from eBay, don't ya love
homebuilts)
I'll post pictures of the airplane and panel with my "first flight" message.

Congrats Marcus, what a great accomplishment. Sharing with your dad
will make a special moment for a lifetime.
Yesterday we had a memorial service for David Lewis, Sr. who with his
son Dave held the record for the largest number of RVs constructed. 37.
Yes, there have been renegades before John Nys and Jesse. Dick was
there for just a few minutes out of respect but he is staunchly strong
on protecting the 51% rule and left before all the stories of their
career adventures. You may get to see Mr. Lewis's biggest achievement
which is a one of a kind Fairchild at OSH '07.
You are the reason. What a great product. Fly safe - live long.

Marcus! Way to go! Congratulations! I'm hoping it'll be just the
opposite. That I can have my son come see mine fly when I'm done. Either
way, son to father or father to son, what a great, great feeling. Stay
safe.

Congratulations Marcus on your great accomplishment. It has to feel great to be through that stage. I know I'll be glad when I'm where you are today.
I wish you much luck on your first flight and the many more that will follow it.
