With the IFR certification completed yesterday, Ross Carbiener (DAR) flew in from Moline to assess the project. Ross is the Aviation Inspector for Deere and an RV experienced representative of the FAA. His credentials/experience alone qualifies him for this task, but when you add in his personality, he is just what I wanted. Ross lives outside of the Springfield FDSO and had to receive permission to come in and review my project. Because the Springfield office was not available until the end of May, they granted him permission to review my project. After examining my project and its related paperwork he declared it an airworthy aircraft and issued my an airworthiness certificate. "Jane", ( my project name...i.e. Plane Jane) is now a full blown general aviation experimental aircraft.
