The EAA has a new test flight manual, that is pretty good to get you to fil=
l out lots of data as you fly off Phase 1

Have you really done everything you need to do in Phase I?
A full flight testing program.
Expanded and documented the envelope?
All allowed maneuvers, stalls, spins, rools, loops ..., at which W&B?
Do you really have all the the numbers to make a complete POH?
Stall speeds clean and dirty at all W&B configurations?
Range (fuel burn) at all configurations?
And so on.
40 hours go quick that way.

THAT is what Phase I is for.

And how can you consider the build complete without all that?

Hope that helps.
