I went down to Oregon to train with Mike Seager who is a
factory endorsed Transition instructor.
Things went well and I got 11 hours with him after a few weather
delays. Flying the RV is definitely
different than the other tail draggers I have flown, so I am glad to have taken
the training. We ended up doing an extra
hour so that I could get to my 25 hour insurance minimum, but it was fun
because we were able to go deeper into wheel landings, short field landings,
slips and engine out scenarios etc.. It
really was a great well rounded training.
When I got back I decided it’s time to get serious, so I got
my data plate on the plane and put the wing root fairings on for the last time
before first flight. Everything in the
plane is ready to fly now, but my inspection won’t be for a few days. After some challenges with scheduling of my
first DAR, I have a new one who is much more responsive and looks to be able to
turn things around pretty quickly. So I
am looking forward to having him look at the plane and sign me off by end of
next week !
I still have some minor things to do on the plane, so the next week or so will consist of another quick engine run with the cowling on; wrapping my fuel flow transducer with fire sleeve, double checking everything for leaks, and making sure the Skyview is set up correctly, checking the tires and getting ready to Fly !
