Thanks Don. I think it may have something to do with mine being called an RV-12 and yours being an AF-1? But I do like the way you tackle the job of building an aircraft.
rjtjrt: CASA discovered to their surprise that their legislation didn't actually allow builders to do their own W&B, which they had been doing happily for years. It normally requires the services of an official Weight and Balance Control Officer. Responding quickly to the situation, it took them only 8 months to hastily issue a temporary exemption to the rules so that builders can now do it legally (after first having completed a new and approved W&B training course, naturally). Having dealt with the immediate problem in record time, CASA can now start the major task of amending the original legislation at a more leisurely pace.
