I have been wanting to comment about the transition training I received from Alex DeDominicis. When I switched my insurance policy from a project to an airplane, it stipulated that I would need 1 hour of RV-7 time. I mentioned to my agent that I had flown an RV-4 and an RV-7 several years ago. She said that it counts, I was cleared to fly. So, the FAA, and the insurance company had given me their blessing. But I knew it would be foolish of me to just jump in and go fly. I called Alex, flew with him twice. He was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Picture two friends going flying, one giving tips and pointers to the other. That's flying with Alex. Very professional, and easy going. I flew my plane this week, everything went great and I was comfortable because I was prepared. I guess the reason I am writing this is because we as EAB aircraft fliers are under the microscope right now. We need to be doing what we can to be safe before Uncle Sam decides to step in. The cost of flying with Alex or the other designated instructors is very reasonable. They provide a great service to the RV community. Money well spent.
