Penultimate in this context means "next to last". This blog was created to compliment my written builder's log, in satisfying the "51%" rule for certifying my airplane as "EAB" Experimental- Amateur built. It has been a nice place to post photos for interested friends, family and others to check in on Doug and my progress with the build.
But that is now in the past. Today, Captain Gary Brown, representing the FAA as a Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR), came to my hangar (despite the snow!!), and inspected my documentation, my logs, and my airplane. He "concurred" (the official FAA term) with my condition inspection of the airplane as being "in a condition for safe flight" and I received my certificate of airworthiness. Along with this came my operating limitations, and the instructions for my test program (Phase1).
N1991M is no longer a building project. N1991M now a real airplane.
I will post one more time: after the first test flight. After that, this blog will have served it's purpose.
Thank you all for viewing.
