The last week has been a whirlwind. Closed on the purchase of N201NG and traveled to Maryland from Oregon for transition training and to move the plane home.
I have to give huge props to:
Seller Phatex1337 for being amenable to my desire to have the PPI done a few hours from home.
RPM Aircraft Services. Byron Rodgers (jet driver) for your service and advice
Transition CFI Brian Elbert (found on the Mooney flyer). His patience, knowledge and instruction are top notch.
If you need services, I highly recommend both of these fine gentlemen.
I already have north of 30 hours on my plane and moved it from Maryland to Oregon in an epic 2 day crossing.
For those of you wondering if you can transition, I would say yes. The 3 solid days of instruction I received (21 hours) have put together a solid base from which to grow.
The trip itself was amazing and diverse with most hours in smooth air coupled with a smaller number that required patience, some skill and a watchful eye on buildups and deviation around.
We had an amazing trip and look so forward to the many adventures to come. These are amazing planes!
