Got my signoff today.
So I guess now the real training begins![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I did the endorsement in a Super Decathlon - 180HP, CS prop, inverted oil and fuel. My RV-6 has a fixed pitch Sensenich on the end of a 160HP engine without inverted oil and fuel, so there'll be some differences.
In particular, the CS prop on the Decath means I've never needed to manage engine RPM. And inverted fuel/oil means the noise has never stopped. Expecting differences in both of those areas in the -6.
I'm going to take the instructor for a ride in the RV in another week or two, but if anyone has any tips on what to expect I'd appreciate it.
