I dreamed I scheduled transition training with Mike Seager, flew to Oregon and found the weather much worse than forecast, so spent more time sitting on ground watching weather than flying. Wait, it's actually happening right now, not a dream..... (Have a couple more days to make it up but it's a bad dream right now)
On the plus side, I get to spend some time getting to know Mike, checking out his shop and RC aircraft and driving around snowy/rainy/cloudy Oregon....

That is Mike's backup plan, Pure Seager!! He was flipping his helicopter upside down over the top if the RV7 while we waited. Such confidence.

We got 'er done. +/- 5 hours flying over 4 days! I've seen every kind of wet weather there is now. Rain (heavy, light, misty, raining when the sun is out, etc), snow (heavy, very heavy, light and in between), sleet/hail, etc - all in one day!
For this Florida boy the combination of terrain and weather was quite a changeup, especially while learning to fly a hotrod. I've flown Bonanzas before (and lots of Cherokees etc) but the acceleration, climb and general performance of the RV-14A are a whole 'nother deal.
We even saw some bald eagles flying near Scappoose airport - worth the price of admission right there. |

Honestly, my RV nightmare is that I'm flying along and the thing comes apart due to some stupid workmanship problem. It's in the back of my mind every time I make a decision during the build: I'm an amateur with an amateur's judgment. In my nightmare, the NTSB accident report finds that one of my rivet holes is oblong or something and shame on me as the builder. My gravestone says, He Built On but should have read AC 43-13, and then I wake up!
