I cannot explain how he clearly communicated and taught me the very basics.
He is the very top of this profession.
If you ever need some to teach you how to fly the RV-(any) see him. He lives near DTO.

Picked up N262 DF after a thorough inspection of the craft & books. After a night of rest and excitement, flew from near Las Vegas (BVU). The builder and previous caretaker of 262 DF was a gracious and wonderful guy- Dan Gildner.

Route of flight was AWESOME- BVU-DRO-MMDO-DUX-DTO overnight, then DTO-GLE to train. Overnight. Then DTO- AWM-MQY. Overnight (weather). Then MQY-JFZ-RMN. Overnight (30-36 direct crosswinds at planned home field), so divert.
Final leg RMN-EZF.

2000 wonderful miles.

Congratulations on purchase. Looking forward to seeing pictures. The trick is post the photos somewhere and when posting, use that icon above this typing box that looks like a postcard.

FWIW, I flew to Tangier Island today (great crab cakes at Lorraine's) and heard an experimental calling at Shannon. It sounded like they were doing touch and goes - any chance that was you? Plan a trip to TGI, if you have not already done it - a very short hop in an RV.

1st he un-tought my 35 yrs of basic experience before providing the basics of a "masters Degree in the art of flying".
He knows how to get to the heart of the matter without using a chainsaw.

Don,
I believe it was me.
Good ears.
