Matt,

 

Oh, I forgot.  Perform your first "condition inspection" before the DAR arrives.  You also might want to get the Repairman application so you can run over to the nearest FSDO and get that taken care of right after you got your pink slip.

 

See the Lancair.net archives or something like that (EAA) for the sample condition inspection sheet.

 

Uh, my magneto timing tool didn't arrive until I had 20 hours on the engine - the one item I had not checked off on the condition inspection checklist.  It was amazing to find the engine running at 34 degrees advance.  Ahhh, no wonder it was rough and hot during to first test flights.

 

Again,

 

Good Luck.
