Glad to hear you and Anita came through it well. For some reason, I figured y
ou would be well-prepared.
I believe I have a line on a hanger at Henderson executive airport come Nove
mber 1. I also lined up a CFI that has access to a Taildragger, so I can get
my BFR and hours to help calm the insurance companies when I contact them.
Towards that end, I have a couple of questions so that I know which way to p
roceed. Are you still inclined to come out to Las Vegas for the first flight
and flight testing? How is your flight status? When I contact the insuranc
e company, do I have your name added as a pilot to the policy? I was thinkin
g of starting the flight testing the beginning of November. I think we shoul
d have nice comfortable weather for the flight testing. How does that sit wi
th your schedule.
Looking forward to it.

he shaking just made a mess of the interior due to paint and dirt/bird dropp

peel and stick, self healing membrane on the roof. To meet cat three I jus

ere for a Cat 3. Not worth it.

s. I think Ira Rampil in Griffin Ga. had more wind, tornados and rain than
I did. He did well as his place is well built.
