Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Oh yeah, the Speed has quit a bit more room from what I’ve seen, enough so to accommodate full stick and rudder controls. The Long is bigger than the Vari but you feet still sit awkwardly on the floor unless a builder cuts a toe hold. I’ve yet to see rudders in the rear seat. Now the Berkut(my personal unicorn) is much bigger and has controls in the rear as well.

I’m waiting to hear back from the school in availability. Will have to make the trek from CA to TN to partake in the transition training. It’s the only training the bloody insurance companies will recognize as “official” training. I’ve got front seat time logged and another friend let me run patterns at Mather Field from the rear seat. But being completely honest, that is worthless and a waste of time since I can not see forward and not really enjoy him yelling in off course, to high, etc. I guess I can look at it as suto IFR….[emoji2957]

Thanks for the info on the primer, all good to know. I have been looking at the remote fresh air sealed units but don’t do it enough to justify the cost. With that said, it could be used for interior painting, sanding etc.

Cheers
