<p>Not too long ago someone from (I think) the Pacific NW area announced they could now do transition training, and they were flexible about coming to people rather than going up there. Might be an option if you can find their announcement... I'm sure it was on here but I'm not currently somewhere I can look for it.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about Buzzy, I thought he'd been doing that stunt every year for ages so I wonder what changed this year. </p>

<p>Keep at it, Ken. Be persistent and work regularly on the build and one day you'll be getting congrats from Jonathan! :>)</p>

<p></p>
<p>His office told me after the incident that he had permission and that the whole thing was fake news. Apparently even if that was true there are more repercussions coming from it. Now they say "Do not believe everything posted". Heck I already know that, Moon landing deniers even say that, but sadly that is not a denial. They say they can still do the transition training, but now I think I would need the issue resolved before I would have any comfort in doing it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What alternatives are there for getting the insurance hours for my son?</p>
<p>Right now the only thing I can think of is.</p>
<p>1. Finish my 40 hours of phase 1.</p>
<p>2. Have my sons flight instructor do duel with me for 10 hours.</p>
<p>3. Add son's flight instructor as named pilot on insurance.</p>
<p>4. Have son do 10 hours of dual with flight instructor.</p>

<p>As the plane is experimental its entire life, all flight after phase 1 is phase 2. At least that is my understanding.</p>

<p>But wait! Let's hope for just one day with a good stiff crosswind so you can make a nice fat "Demonstrated Crosswind" entry in the POH you will be building from the Phase 1 testing you will be doing. ;-)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Calling it Phase 1 testing makes one wonder what Phase 2 testing consists of. Maybe that's the phase where the pilot gets tested?</p>

<p>I like the blue nose. You wouldn't happen to be a mariner? Are you planning to fly this across the Arctic Circle?</p>
