list.

> As you say the RV-4 is cleared for aeros in the UK. The 6, 7 and 8 are
not. This is mainly due to the fact that the PFA acceptance engineer (John
Tempest) has yet to be convinced that the HS meets the strength requirements
(presumably based on FAR/JAR 23 aerobatic category). He is insisting on a
static load test of a specimen HS before he will be convinced. (I believe
that John Tempest and Ken Krueuger disagree on this issue).
>
> As I understand it, arrangements are being made to do the required test in
the UK, and Vans have kindly offered to donate a HS for this purpose. I
believe that the HS structure is the same for the 6, 7 and 8. Presently I am
holding off completing my HS in the (hpoefully unlikely) event that the PFA
should insinst on a strengthening mod.)
>
> The one other thing that will have to be done before aeros clearance can
be given for the RV-6 (and 7 when one is completed in the UK), is that the
type will have to be test flown in aeros and spinning by the PFA acceptance
test pilot. In the case of the 8, this has already been done (the PFA gave a
one off aeros authorisation for acceptance test flying only).
