As Tim has posted, I will gladly offer my portly 249 pounds as ballast to anyone interested in RV-10 Transition Training here at KUAO or KSPB. Mike Seager was a true pleasure, Tim brought beautiful sunny skies to the Pacific NorthWet. He even brought realistic cross winds and turbulence to the drill. Now in defense of the ride, I had moved from the Right Rear Seat (leather covered) for the previous 5 hours, to the Left Rear Seat (a beautiful fabric covered replacement). Being too comfortable and lulled into complacency with Tim’s great stick work during the morning and previous two sessions, I decided not to reconnect the shoulder harnesses upon my shift to the left seat, so as to get better shots of the Yugo dash and Mike’s smile on Tim’s performance. If you want the Tim “E” Ride, strap up the harnesses and stay seated till it returns to the gate. Also consider finish covering of the bolt and nut combination to secure the ceiling mounted Pilot and Co-pilot shoulder harnesses.
As a former Pilot Examiner for over 20 years, I can attest to the smooth, calming style and professional, comprehensive instruction that Mike provides. You will leave knowing that your years of hard work and the investment into the RV-10 are well worth it.
And Ray, you got me beat on quality interior shots from Scott’s transition training. I still get a grin at the MX20 showing Scott was not “Dead On Centerline” when the thrill of the throttle began.
