My DAR went over it with a fine tooth comb for over an 90 minutes, did not find one thing wrong, did not ask one question why something was done a certain way.

I’m legal

Jay it looks really nice and the workmanship from the photos looks first class. I am looking forward to hearing about the inspection and first flight. Best wishes with the inspection Monday.

I totally plagiarized these from N186BP, but they hold the doors up really nice

Good luck with the inspection. Your build looks great!

[Kris]

I’m shooting for about 1000lbs I’m cutting a lot of weight as these are way overbuilt.

[Kris]

I sure will.

[rodsmith]

I'm sure your inspection will go fine. I have enjoyed your build documentation.

[Bissetg]

Good luck on the 20th Jay, I’m sure it will go very well by the looks of your pics! Keep us posted on the flight envelope when you get to that part. There is a lot of interest in how the Companion with 200HP goes!!!

[Utah-Jay]

I am on the final push, I have scheduled my DAR for the 20th.

Not much posting, but lots of little stuff going on.

Here is a upper door I hung today

Hi Kris, that is so exciting for someone to develop a new engine option. Please keep us informed on your progress

[Utah-Jay]

Kris
Mine weighed 1225, looking forward to your Rotax build

I suspect the Rotax 916 with the fadec CS prop will weigh at least a 100# less all else being equal

[Kris]

Have you done a weight and balance yet? I’m currently doing a companion with Rotax 916 and trying to get real weights thanks
