Find a DAR who knows RV's and start the process several months in advance. 90% of the process is paperwork. Builders logs are nice, but they never looked at mine ( RV6 & RV7).
Find out exactly what placards and markings they require, as they will take lots of photos. It has become a CYA process for them, as it should be. Also it is nice if you can find someone who will be liberal and practical with your flight test area. 25 miles is ridiculous, impractical and unsafe as far as I am concerned, especially for a 200 mph aircraft! Once the DAR has all your paperwork in hand, the inspection is a non-event. Put it back together and just GO FLY!
