Thanks guys, the actual check flight wasn't that much of a surprise because I took a practice checkride with the same guy a week earlier, so I knew what was coming. All in all the ground went from 10-12 and the flying from 12:30 to 2:30-3:00. He was a real nice guy and had that ability to make you understand complex ideas simply. I rent the planes for around 85 an hour full wet so it's not too bad.
He didn't do anything to throw me off Habu as he told me that the checkride is nothing more than to see that you meet the standards, nothing more and nothing less. At the end of the flight he told me everything that I did wrong and could do better on. I wish I had studied mag compass turns more thorougly as that part I had actually had very little practice.

Very nice and congrats. Tell us how the check flight went. Did the guy try to trip you up at all? Was there anything you should have studied harder?
When you get your pictures post them in this thread.

BTW snapperhead I plan on taking this into a career, so kiss my ass. I'm already into my IFR training.
