Robert, I left off the obvious third choice, the true legal way! I don't know of anybody personally that's paid someone to fly off their 25-40 hours, but I'm...
I guess if you paid your test pilot to hang around for 4-8 days to fly off the time, weather permitting, and then another 2 days for dual, you could go "legal"...
Charlie Kholer met me in flew his IV-P to California and flew with me in my ES back to D/FW for my dual. I had to bring the airplane back to Florida anyhow. BJ...

Charlie Kohler is great and he is in Florida. He gave me dual in my plane right after test flying it. I highly recommend him. Kris "BJ Kirby/Coastland Auto...
Peter Zaccagnino came to Colorado and gave me my 5 hours. Very professional, very savvy. Well worth the time (and money). If you can plan to share him with...
I've got a prepaid La Quinta motel room for July 26 (Wed) to July 30 (Sat) in Appleton, WI (20 min from the show) if anyone needs one. It's a King - non...
Hey Guys - I'm in the process of updating and tailoring the factory POH to our airplane. I have it all scanned, OCR'd and formatted in Microsoft Word. So much...
I thought I had read somewhere about the problems of mounting the front seatbelts section in the middle - between the seats per the specs in the manual. I...
I don't remember this being a big problem. I used some aluminum flat bar material to extend my seats aft. I think I bolted my seat belts to this same flat...
John you industrious and generous individual - I would love a copy of your efforts. Please put me on the distribution list. I will add the pressurization...
John, I'd really appreciate a copy of the POH when you're done. (Plagiarize/ plagiarize/ Let nothing evade your eyes) I've also heard a procedure of Mixture...
John, To prime an IO550N engine you push all levers forward and run the boost pump on high until you see about 10 to 15 psi on the fuel pressure gauge. This...
Hi Paul - I'll try to get this project finished this coming week. It's not the information, or writing, but the damned software. I thought I knew MS Word until...
There are numerous ways to prime, but don't forget to consider whether you have the new style or old style induction port drains. The old style drains don't...
Understand your frustration with Word. Trying to get to automatically number paragraphs, do a T of C and T of tables always drove me crazy. I suspect you're...
I remember seeing something a long time ago about a graphic file of the Lancair Logo, but I can't find it now. Does anyone have such a beast? I can work with...
John, I found both the Columbia and Cirrus POHs online. I have thought about (but never got around to it) working through the various manuals and creating a...
John, I mounted my front seats two inches aft (or was it four inches, can't remember now). I made a seatbelt mount out of phenolic and fit it under the aft ...
