Its been quite a long weekend. I have been doing transition training during the day, and finishing up the RV at night. The FAA came out today to do the inspection and found basically nothing wrong!

Congratulations Mike! Your project is now an Airplane! We all look forward to your first flight. Don't rush the transition training be very comfortable before that first flight! You have a lot of good flying weather yet before the end of the year. :) Take care and hopefully we will see you at a fly-in soon! good going :)

Of course I don't remember those days. Bombay Sapphire has done quite a number to my memory! :beer:

Way to go Mike. Congrats and good luck with the first flights.

I'm not too far behind ya ;). Did the weigh in couple of days ago, and did a ground run today. Now if I can see about fixing an in-op tachometer on my AF3500, I can move forward to calibrating the tanks, and getting the paperwork in order for my inspection.
