Hey gang,
Today the DAR pronounced N601LT an Airworthy Airplane. Â Tomorrow the wings come off to move it all up to the larger airport KPHN for the long high speed taxi tests and first five hours of flight testing.
Then I will fly it back to my home base of 57D to finish up the Phase 1 testing. Â
This is my only job till July 9th so pray for good weather for me.

Congrats Ron.
I am interested in doing my airworthiness at my build location (not an
airport) and then removing the wings to move it to an airport.
Did you have any problems with the DAR. Did you do any thing special.
Any tips for me about planning ahead so I'll be able to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Ron,
Glad to hear your flights are going well. Still hoping to hear about
your Dar experiences. Drop me an email privately, if you prefer.
Thanks,

The DAR experience is like this. They are protecting the public so they make sure you did what ya said, and sign all the documents saying so. They want to make sure your creation is labled correctly, my guy even gave me a missing lable for the mixture. They also want to make sure you have a plan for testing your creation.
An interesting thing happend when he asked me to move it out of the hangar and start it up for him, it wouldn't start and it was spewing fuel out the air inlet. He gave me the cirtificate anyway because he knew it was caused by something I was gonna fix ( bad float in the carb).
So remember the Boy Scout Motto, Be Prepared and fret not.
The DAR will most likely come to wherever you have the airplane but he expects it to be ready to fly with the inspection covers open so he can see your work.

Thanks for the info, Ron. Does your guy do central MN? I've heard a
variety of opinions, but you're the 1st one I've talked to that actually
had any experience.
Thanks again for sharing your experience. Enjoy your new toy!
