I recently flew all the way from Melbourne - Australia (commercially) to undertake RV training with Mike in Vernonia, Oregon and so glad I did. His calm and professional approach took a low hour pilot from wondering if he would ever get to take-off and land an RV by the numbers with correct technique to feeling confident and competent after the training.
For me one of the highlights was the last day taking a flight down the Oregon Coastline, popping into and out of a number of different strips, all of which elevates confidence and cements the training over the previous lessons with Mike. It is better than the best insurance to have this training before you start flying your new RV or just as a polish-up on RV technique. You guys get to have this professional on your door step though for an Aussie it is an expedition all round. Costs were very acceptable as well with Vans partly sponsoring the program Mike carries out.
The only down side to my visit was the damage inflicted on the credit card by my lovely wife whilst we were there. She had single handedly added significantly to the USA GDP (sic)
Take the opportunity to fly with Mike.......you wont regret it.
