Today was another big Milestone. This afternoon I went to Vans aircraft and received some transition training from Jose. We flew down to Lebanon and did a few landings. I practiced some slow flight and stalls on the way there. The RV-12 is Awesome!!! I think it helped some that I had a few hours in the Tecnam Sierra as that gave a little closer feel to how the RV12 flies. I will continue with a little more training tomorrow morning to get better prepared for my first flight in my aircraft.
This evening the DAR, Gary Brown came and did my airworthiness inspection. Everything passed with flying colors. A little time spent going over paperwork and operating limitations. N8697T is now considered airworthy and ready to fly.
Tomorrow after transition training in the morning I will put the plane back together and do some taxi tests. If everything goes right and weather is good I hope to do my first flight tomorrow evening!
