If I ever get it inspected I might find out. I wish I could get your
southern DAR to come up here. I haven't even been able to get an inspector
up here yet. Our inspections are done by a private organization called MD-RA
and they don't like any modifications to the original plans. They want me to
get an approval letter from Van's for all my mods. When I told them that
this has a snowballs chance in hell of ever happening, they told me that my
best alternative is to call it something other than an RV and submit it as
my own design. It's already registered as an RV with Transport Canada, so I
would have to redo all this. I'm considering this, but I have a suspicion
that it would ultimately cause me more headache. I'm not real patient with
all this bureaucracy stuff, so I'm having a real hard time keeping cool with
them. I'm tempted to accidentally taxi just a little too fast :-)
If I do rename it I think I'll go with RX-9endurance. What do you guy's
think? I've already got that on my webpage, but it was never a serious name
for it. Looks like it might be now. Wonder if I can claim the rights to that
before Mazda does? :-)
