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!

Congratulations! I'd bet that a ton of stuff you worked hard on and

worried about wasn't even looked at, while other items that seemed

minor did get a close look see. Be sure to send a notam to the RV

lists when that first flight is to occur.

Wow! When I was at the OAK FSDO last September they told me to give them 6 months notice to schedule the inspection. I guess they're not as busy as they thought.
