Shuffler <S> Sir.

Your 38J costs $15 a month. Multi engine. That's a good deal.

I'm only single engine rated. If I see you online, I may ask to join you in flight. You are the best 38 pilot I know.

there is guy...AckAck?...pretty darn good also.

All I can say is that Puma and I (and few others - chime in guys) were blessed to get paid to fly other people's airplanes.

And, that’s definitely the way to do it!👍

I was once pretty decent in the 38. I was off a year when Harvey flooded our home. Coming back I feel I have lost the edge. I still enjoy it a lot though.

As for you joining when I am on.... any time you like. Bring your own chute.  :rofl

Mine was extremely uneventful , Do to a hang up in getting my Med Cert I had about 60 Hours Duel  when I finally got to solo.
I had already purchased and picked up the RV In Bullhead City and flew it back to DFW.

3 Quick Landings followed by start building the 10 hours solo required. 1 Week later I did my check ride.

HT, does your RV have the little wheel on the tail...I have never seen a photo. And if so, did you get some dual on a TG before you picked it up?
Thanks.
