-----Dear Fellow RV Builders and Flyers, as my RV-8a gets closer to flying I'm looking at myself in prep to flying her. Presently I fly a LSA I built over 5 years ago and though I have maintained my Class II Med it's getting about time for a new physical. Issue is I have recently developed hypothyroidism and take a little blue pill each day to get my "T" level up. I understand I can fly with it, but that my Flight Doctor has to send certain documents and test results to FAA for a variant. Who has had this, what is the drill and what test results do I need to bring to my Flight Dr. at the time of the physical in order to expedite the approval? Best regards, Bill
