Well today I finished my 5-day adventure and brought N262 DF to her (his?) home.
This would not have been possible without my RV-4 Mentor Extraordinaire/Flight Instructor/Master Mechanic/ and Flight Therapist- Dave Austin.
I cannot explain how he clearly communicated and taught me the very basics.
He is the very top of this profession.
If you ever need some to teach you how to fly the RV-(any) see him. He lives near DTO.
Picked up N262 DF after a thorough inspection of the craft & books. After a night of rest and excitement, flew from near Las Vegas (BVU). The builder and previous caretaker of 262 DF was a gracious and wonderful guy- Dan Gildner.
Route of flight was AWESOME- BVU-DRO-MMDO-DUX-DTO overnight, then DTO-GLE to train. Overnight. Then DTO- AWM-MQY. Overnight (weather). Then MQY-JFZ-RMN. Overnight (30-36 direct crosswinds at planned home field), so divert.
Final leg RMN-EZF.
2000 wonderful miles.
