Bill, let us know of your inspection results and get ready for great flying. Over 100 hours on my RV9 now and most of it hands off when not doing whifferdills or whatever.

Jack,
Welcome to the RV World! I hope you enjoy building as much as I have.
One of the reasons why this list is less active than the RV-10 list is that many builders have moved to the www.vansairforce.net forum.

Logan,
Thanks for the note.
I had the inspection this morning and the FAA guy, not a DAR, spent all of 20 minutes looking it over, collecting paper works, and watching 20 - 30 buzzards thermaling over the runway.
He didn't even wiggle the control stick, have me turn on the electronics, start the engine, or anything else. Kind of a disappointment but it was what I had expected. Our EAA chapter 309 has such a good reputation with the local FISDO that if it is signed off by one of our tech inspectors, they won't look at the plane. However, you present a plane that hasn't been through the EAA tech inspection process and they could be there all day.
Needless to say, our tech inspectors are tough!!!
Last night I flew another hour in a friends -6 to brush up on my TW time as the Decathlon I had been flying to stay current was sold a year and a half ago so I was bit rusty. After four hours in the -6, I'm ready for my first flight.
Stand by for a first flight report.
Bill

Bill called me at 11:30 and said he passed inspection with no squawks! Unfortunately, he has to now wait for Nora to get back from her vacation before he can fly! I'm sure Bill will elaborate shortly.

I MUST wait for Nora to return. Heck, she pounded or bucked at least 1/3 of all the rivets in this thing AND she was the one who was crawling up in the foot well to buck the top skin, connect the vent lines and do some other miscellaneous things that I couldn't get in there to do.
These are my two favorite pictures of her helping:
About to start inventorying the fuselage:

and about to be buried in fuselage packing material:

BTW, it is a disappointment to me that the FAA won't allow N-numbers to start with zero. It would be so so cool to have "N0RA" as my number!
