That means its LMTA-1 category and all you need is you, and a 2nd person who is an AMA CD to act as a witness for the certification flight...

Very cool Bob! I didn't know that's all it took. I thought one person had to be a LMA inspector. I have a CD at my club I can get to sign for me. I also printed out the paper work to be an inspector. Got the LMA-8 form all filled out but now I have to have physical signatures for references. So will need to wait until I go to an event or see some people I know sometime to sign.
Thanks for the clarification. These models are getting bigger and bigger. I for one don't think they should get any bigger. People don't understand that when the model gets bigger and heavier the stress goes up exponentially and is a steep curve when they get bigger. Good to see allot of new smaller planes coming out this year. Hopefully models have reached the top in size.
