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.
