We received our Airworthiness Certification today from the FAA Inspector.
We were surprised that he assigned a 40 hour phase one period.
We are using a certified O320 engine matched to a Sensenich Metal Prop purchased through Vans Aircraft.
He stated that the combination must have existed on a certified aircraft to be eligible for the 25 hour phase one.
Our hanger mates just had their Sonex with an Aerovee/Composite Prop assigned a 25 hour period by a DAR.
Any insight would be appreciated
