    Aircraft wood "too dry"???

    I have been taking lessons in a 172 that I bought this year and preparing for my checkride.

    Hiring test pilot?

    Question: if I build an experimental-amateur built aiplane that meets LSA criteria, and it has conventional gear, how do I go about getting it past the initial phase 1 flying? I am planning on getting my Sport Pilot license during building the plane. I have read, and agree, that this initial...
