Bob et al:
It seems that my inspector has to send his report to the Chief Inspector
(Jamie), who can then sign me off for flight, so I believe TC is not
involved at this point. I'm told to expect about 3 weeks delay.
For those interested, the statistics are:
Build time to date: 1,880 hrs + 350 hrs for the floats (so much for the
advertised 700 hrs!)
Elapsed time: 30 months, which I didn't think was bad, considering I have a
full time job
Empty weight: 1,430 lbs on Montana 2200 amphibs.
Equipment: Aerosport Power O360, Sensenich fixed pitch prop, Grand Rapids
EIS/EFIS, Narco Escort II, AT150, SelCal encoder. All electric airplane -
no vacuum system, no cabin heat.
At this point, the airplane is unpainted, and has no interior. Until I get
the gross weight increase approved by TC, it's going to stay that way,
because I'm only 26 lbs below the maximum allowable empty weight, according
to the CARS formula (well, maybe I could manage a thin coat of paint!). The
only thing I though was a bit heavy was the seat foam, which is ConforFoam.
But it is comfortable.
