Today, we got the final permit to fly and associated paperwork in the mail :-)

This is quite the milestone as it officially moves us out of the flight test phase and we are no longer restricted to the predetermined list of 5 “flight test helpers” comprar inflables baratos as passengers. Also, we are no longer restricted to just Switzerland, just in time for the summer travel season :-)

So anybody on our (long) waiting list for an RV-ride is bouncy castle for sale now free to join and enjoy the RV-grin firsthand!

Also, again using the guidance, help and advice from Max, we were able to complete the weight and balance measurement. This was actually an interesting one, as we had not really weighed the airplane before. The result wasn’t much of a surprise and neither a disappointment, just a tiny bit heavy at 1166lbs. (529kg). Considering the airplane is fully finished with paint and interior,  just about as much electronics as we could fit and a relatively heavy constant speed prop/engine, this isn’t that bad. We certainly knew that we were going to be above 1100lbs. Still, because the RV has such a nice envelope and payload, this still leaves ample room for us medium weight europeans ;-) Now east jump we just have to stay in shape *LOL*

This HB-YMT Mass and Balance.xls lets you play with some figures. It also checks the limit nosegear load as per Van’s and the Aerobatic limits. Feel free to reuse, many thanks to Carl Morgan (RV-7A, new zealand) for the excellent template!

With the generous help of Max Vogelsang, we jumpers for sale were able to complete the static thrust measurement. Of course, the RV has more than enough power, so that was another one for the papertrail…

Made good progress towards first engine start. Which we were unable to do as it also rained out a planned full day of work.

So we still got to do hinchables some stuff inside the hangar, such as documenting the various control deflections and measuring distances.
