We needed a CFI to help with operating our monowheel. Since Jim was pretty proficient
on non-pavement runways, he was able to fly with an experienced tailwheel
CFI we located, initially on grass and then on pavement. After the CFI acquired
about 10 hours dual with Jim, we had him added to our insurance as an approved
pilot at no additional charge. Then he was able to fly with Heather until
she got the 10 hours dual with a CFI that insurance required.
So if an owner wants to sell a monowheel, and they are comfortable with it on non-pavement
runways, they could find a local CFI and do as we did to help the
new owner get proficient and satisify insurance experience requirements.
We insure with US Speciality and use SkySmith as our underwriter. We found that
SkySmith was able to get us insurance when others couldn't.
The CFI we used is in Grand Rapids, MI. His name is Randy Passeno, cell 616-821-1980
and email randy.passeno@gmail.com. He works M-F full time so it is probably
difficult to use him for Europa transition very far from MI.
The biggest help from Randy was working out speeds, power settings and attitudes
for the Europa. Our results are somewhat different than those in the monowheel
POH but they work well.
