Smile First flight from the left side

I just completed my first left seat flight and landings with Jan Bussell out of River Acres Florida. I previously flew two flights with friends from the riht side but never attempted landings. I was concerned about a number of items including never having flown a swiveling nose gear, excuse me taxi gear and never flying a stick with anything but my right hand. All went well. My fears have been removed. Bottom line is after you invest $70k in an aircraft type which you have never "really" flown, you are a fool not to do the transition training. I especially liked Jan's easy style and wealth of RV knowledge. Best money I spent to date.

Agree with your assesment of Jan. Excellent guy. Glad you got a proper taste of the RV. Jan's aircraft are very fast but wait til you jump in a 180hp!!
