The convention for inexperienced pilots is to get say the first five hours flown by an experienced test pilot, then he shows you the ropes and you fly the rest..it needs 25 hours test flying before it gets full certification.

The kicker is, I just totally gave up on everything last year. my licence just expired. But I just did a flight with an instructor so I can get current again.

😄

He owns a workshop. After I went through every page in the build manual to check for errors, I taxied it over to his hangar and two of his guys spent pretty much the whole day going through it.

Remember, all aircraft are built by 'someone'. Although I get what you mean. They found almost nothing wrong. The main guy said he's seen worse on factory built aircraft 😯

So that was nice 🙂

Well, today I got to fly in my plane, as a passenger. It wasn't scary at all ☺️

This is the only photo of today. Too busy learning and enjoying for pics in the air

Actually it's a similar plane, and same engine as those Ukrainian planes theyve been turning into one way bomb drones. So under Ruskie radar is the name of the game 😄
