    Completed my Private Pilot's Checkride today! Now I am official. I have one wing installed on my plane and working on the second. Then off to the painter's.

    I received my FAA Registration N601MR this week. Wings are painted now. Fuselage to the painter's next!

    Hi Thomas, just read your note about the dual received at Tulip City. I have spoken with them recently and also will be planning a trip North from Indy. Who was your instructor and how did you schedule the 5 hours, i.e., were they able to accommodate you in one entire weekend for example? Curious how the dual went. Thanks for any tips you can provide .. my email address is dgardea@gmail.com

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Thomas, thanks for sharing the details of the your dual in the 601XL. That's great that you were able to complete the 5 hours in one day. I'm looking forward to making the trip up there. Good luck on your first flight following your upcoming inspection! Fly safe!//Dave

    Good luck Tom!! As you know now, the 601 is an easy airplane to fly. Just be easy on the pitch control during your first takeoff to avoid PIO and you will do just fine.
