Today is inspection day! I got up early and got everything together for the hangar. All the paperwork, the computer with the build log on it and something to eat…

I managed to peel off the peel ply on the flox from yesterday and that was about it. I calibrated the right fuel tank, and removed all the panels. The inspector Art Nadobny was meeting me at the gate at 11:45.

Everything went really well. Art was a very nice guy, and he looked over the plane and gave it his stamp of approval. He also gave me a larger test area than I had originally asked for because of the high performance nature of the aircraft.

I had to make an engine run time entry in the log book, and then Art stuck his sticker in there and went through the operating limitations with me. After that, he handed me the pink piece of paper all this work was for!
