Airworthiness Certificate Obtained!

This afternoon, I had my airworthiness inspection. It went well and I was issued a special airworthiness certificate.

This puts me into the "Phase I" testing, where I need to do a bunch of test flights and prove that my plane is safe to operate throughout normal maneuvers.

After the inspection, I fired up the engine to make sure my oil leak is gone after the work I did yesterday. The leak is now resolved. I also feel like the mixture idle setting is getting closer to ideal, but still a little bit too far to the rich side...I adjusted it one flat toward the lean direction after the run.
