Got my pink slip today
Final sign off by the FSDO today. Woo Hoo. A surprisingly simple process. I bet the guy looked at the plane for all of 6 minutes. It was all about the paperwork for them.
Hope to do the first flight on Saturday with a Test pilot (using the new second pilot program). I have LIVED at the airport the last week getting it together. Very exciting. Larry RV-6A |
Congratulations!!
Larry, congrats on the pink:D:D
|
Congratulations!
May the first flight be as uneventful as the inspection!
|
Let the FUN begin! Congrats!

Larry,
That's fantastic news! Now the real fun begins. :cool: |
Congrats!
None of these guys who only look at the airplane for 6 minutes are doing any of you any favors. The inspection is not supposed to be a "test", but rather a very thorough preflight for you to insure you have a safe an uneventful first flight. At least that is how I look at it and execute it. As an example, about 50% of the aircraft I inspect have the elevator trim rigged up backwards. I inspected an RV 7 just this past week end that was backwards and he had been flying it that way for over 200 hours. He said he got used to it!
So, be careful, and don't assume anything. :) Vic |
Congratulations
Great to hear. Have fun.

Actually found one RV-12 with the stabilator (not trim) rigged backwards. Builder was quite embarrassed. |
Congrats on reaching this point in your RV journey! In light of the "paperwork" inspection you received, may I suggest that you have a couple of your more experienced chapter members give your plane a good going-over before your first flight. Another pair of eyeballs (or more) looking over your work never hurts. Congrats again!

Congrats,
In keeping with the other folks on the forum regarding an actual inspection. We had a " inspection party" and asked every other builder/pilot in the area to come over and inspect. Only thing they found was that we had the fuel vent line angle facing aft instead of forward. Thank goodness someone caught it. You cannot over estimate the value of a fresh pair of eyes. |
