I caught that right after I posted it :-) I had cleaned out OE last
night back to four days old and missed the pickup. Thought I had
deleted this but obviously it didn't work!
Anyway.....it looks to me like the IP needs a complete checkout in
this
airplane before flying it. His questions just seem way out of line
for
someone taking delivery of an airplane they are rated and competent
to
fly!
Sorry about the mispost :-)

I don't wish to sound like a smartass here, but what's your
problem
with
getting a full checkout in this airplane from a competent pilot
current
in the aircraft?
It sounds like you might benefit from a bit of complex training
here!!!

I wondered the same thing, but you're replying to the wrong person.
I'm a
student and GE posted the original question.

Cheers!



I applaud the original poster. He said, " I have only flown fixed
props thus far. I want to have as much
understanding of the c-s prop as possible before I get with my
instructor." He's trying to learn a little something in advance so he
doesn't start completely cold with the instructor. He is seeking
complex training and proactively preparing in advance for that
training.

You hope!!!

Could be, and most likely it's an ok scenario, but the correct answer I
believe is still to tell him to get the checkout; at least tell him this
along with supplying the data requested.
This is one of the drawbacks of aviation Usenet. You never know if
someone is taking a "shortcut" or seeking a head start going in the
right direction. You are probably right, but I notice that no one
answering this poster suggested that he get the checkout along with
supplying the data requested. :-)
