Today 4/12/12 N6242 received a Special Airworthiness certificate from the Washington FSDO inspector. Actually, there were two FAA inspectors that showed up. Both said that this was the first time either had examined a KR-2. Their first remark walking through the door was how small the plane looked. The waiting delay was 5 weeks from my mailing the formal request for airworthiness inspection to today. The inspector said their usual delay is about 3 weeks for the Washington FSDO. Yes, they were thorough and professional. And very knowledgeable on the regs. And yes, much emphasis was put on the paperwork. I corrected the few minor gripes on the spot. Next up is to put the airplane back together; wait for the near perfect day and make that first flight. Let the fun begin. Yeehaa.
