The DAR came to day and gave me that magic little pink paper that says

my project has a "Special Airworthiness Certificate" so it is officially

an airplane.

Congratulations, Bob.  Although I don’t consider these things officially airplanes until they flyJ.

 

Where you headed in ND?  Be sure to stop in at my old home town – Glen Ullin.  There is absolutely nothing to do there; but they have a nice new runway 4000 ft, and a transient hangar.  I think there are about 2 airplanes based at the field.

 

Al (Expect my plane to get airborne again tomorrow)

 

 First flight will still be a while as there is one

component that needs upgrading - the pilot (me) needs a tailwheel

endorsement.  I had an instructor lined up, but he lost the use of the

plane he was going to use to instruct me.  I now have another

instructor and will work on the taildragger skills until my wife

insists on leaving for a visit to ND.
