I'd love to get some RV-7 training but I'm still quite a way from my first flight (working on the fuse). At past Oswego fly-ins, signups with Mike were limited to those who were just about ready to fly. Will that be the case this year?

That's great, Fred...I'm totally glad to be wrong! I'd like to get one and maybe two slots. I'll be glad to PM you or email off-list if you'd like.

Thanks!

Default Flying with Mike Seager

Just to insert a plug for Mike Seager here...

I did my transition training with Mike last October (three months before I was ready to fly my -7). I was upgrading from a low/slow TaylorCraft type airplane, and was used to flying really fast at 100mph and landing really slow at 45 mph. Obviously, the RV-7 was a change of pace for me.

I had scheduled about 8 hours, but weather was a big factor, so we were only able to clock 2.7 hours. After we finished the 2.7 hours, I felt confident enough to fly my RV-7.

I really owe it all to Mike. His training technique is calm and relaxed, but you're going to know how to handle these little hot rods when he's done with you.

Best part of all of this, the cost to fly with Mike is very reasonable. I'm not going to start quoting prices - that's up to Mike - but I certainly felt that I got my money's worth.
