I sent the packet to the FAA MIDO office in Minneapolis yesterday and so today I heard that, despite my slavish adherence to the EAA aircraft registration/certification step-by-step guide, I got a call today that paperwork is missing.
They wanted a copy of the aircraft registration (no biggie), they wanted another notarized affadavit of ownership (8050-88), which I'd already sent with the aircraft registration packet several weeks ago.
And I guess they didn't like the EAA's version of the letter to accompany the package, because they sent me another one to fill out.
There were some additional yes/no items to fill out on their form. This one is the most troubling:

The powerplant installation has undergone at least one hour of ground operation at various speeds from idle to full power to determine and ensure that all systems are operating properly. This time has been recorded in the aircraft log book.
I don't know how to answer this because having a full hour of ground operation goes against the recommendations of the engine manufacturer and the logbook sent me doesn't have an indication of how long Mattituck ran it.
Help!
