I am just curious at this point....it's a lot of money (read avionics) down the road from here, but I am just curious as to exactly what steps have to be taken before one can leagally operate their RV in controlled airspace under IFR conditions. I assume it is much more involved than just installing the neccessary equipment and blazing off into the muck. First off, does the equipment have to be TSO'd for IFR? Is there any kind of proving flight(s) or physical inspection required by an FAA inspector with a subsequent issuance of some kind of certificate for the A/C logbook?
