WOW:
After 10 1/2 years of building, L-IVP # N499R, serial # 101 , had its inspection by the FAA today (no discrepancies) and was awarded its Special Airworthiness Certificate. Its proud Dad was also awarded a FAA Repairmans Certificate.
N499R weighed in at 2162 lbs including seats but without paint or upholstery. Not too bad considering the extra weight of the A/C compressor, condenser, drier, hoses, and evaporator.
First flight will occur after I go back and add more weight to the left elevator instead of using the Lancair balancing kit for the elevators.
Thanks to all who offered advice and good wishes over the years.
