Second visit from authority
Catégorie: Miscellaneous
|
Today project got inspected by the regulatory authority. This takes place before the wings can be closed. We made a complete tour of the project : the wings, the fuselage, the engine and all the papers I already have. There was no problem about the quality of my work. We also talked about the next steps, mainly the last one before I get flight permission. For that visit I will need some official papers, and also some items will have to be on board. The only problem we found was about performing aerobatics. The problem is that the canopy should be jettisonnable and I modifed the mechanism. Anyway, the struts will also prevent the canopy from leaving the plane and might prevent the pilot's egress. So I will have to see if it's still possible to modify the plane or if I will drop the aerobatic side of the mission. |
