You guys should live in Texas. I asked for 100nm radius in my
application, and they gave it to me - pre-typed!

Re: rotary powered SQ2000
My DAR turned up with the paperwork all pre-typed, so it
was too late to change the 40 mile test area. Might be a good plan to
discuss having a wider test area before he comes.
40 miles?
It's supposed to be 25 by default, so he already cut you a break.
Most DARs will work with you on this, and I know an RV-8 guy who got the
whole state of NM as his test area. The one and only bad thing
about the DAR out of Dothan is that he will absolutely NOT give you more
than 25 miles (I've tried 3 times). Keep in mind that you can
center that 25 miles around some point other than your airport, as long
as your airport is within the radius. I did that on the two
previous planes, but 25 miles, centered on the airport was just
about right for the rotary project. I bet I spent 30 hours within
gliding distance of the runway, because I was always testing something
on the engine.
Paul, I'll give
you a ring before leaving the airport, and see if you're
around. I don't do anything early, so it will be after noon I'm
sure.
Cheers,
Rusty (2R4 to
2R5)
