Hi; I am a new RV owner; purchased a flying 6A out of Missouri a few weeks ago and had it flown up to marvelous Moose Jaw, SK. Bit of a story with customs and my ferry pilot, but that's for another post.
Anyway; I just had my import inspection done last night, and now I'm waiting for my paperwork to arrive so I can get checked out and go flying. Just wanted to mention that it appears I may actually have my requested 1800 lb gross accepted. The inspector told me (as I expected) that they normally won't approve a gross above Van's recommended 1650, but when he looked at my paperwork, he saw that MDRA had processed all my applications, report on eligibility, etc with the 1800 lb gross listed, all without comment or change, so he went ahead and accepted my appplication for special c of a with the 1800 lb numbers on it. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get changed or delay processing the c of a.
So, Steve; all the paperwork is being couriered to speed things up, and hopefully we'll have a legal plane next w/e!
Now I just have to put all....those.....screws.....back in
