Hi Karl,
Yes, that's the plan.
With Chris flying, the hull insurance is in place. I've got to get 10
hours with him before the hull cover kicks in for me.
Provided Chris is willing, it's an option I will take. Will keep you
posted on progress.

Hi Dave,
I figured he'd do it this weekend. CONGRATULATIONS !!!
You must be very relieved and happy after such a long time. You are number
3
in Ontario. I hope Chris can give it a good checkout in the next few days
and maybe check you out from the left seat ?
Happy flying,
Karl
