From other posts, I understand that I will have to put my -6A back into Phase I testing because of the new propeller installation.
I purchased the aircraft flying (fourth owner), so I am nowhere near the original test area. Nor do I have any experience with Phase I testing in the first place.
Could some of you gurus please educate me a little.
The aircraft is based at W52 (Goheen Field, Battle Ground, WA) It is 10nm on a 345 radial from W52 to Lake Merwyn. I was thinking that a good test area would be a corrider from W52 to Lake Merwyn extending east over Yale Lake and Swift Reservoir. That is the least populated area I can think of. It is about 25 nm from the interesection with Yale Lake to the east end of Swift Reservoir. Please let me know if you think that would be a good choice.
For those who have had experience with them, how do I handle this with the Portland (Hillsboro) FSDO? Are they OK to work with? PM me if you don't wish to discuss an experience publicly. I would think that they have a lot of experience working with experimentals since they are the FSDO for Van's.
