Bob- Good point, the 172 is "complex" but not "high performance." The email from
the insurance broker said I needed "125 hours of retract," which led me to
believe that 125 hours in a 172RG would help me much more than 125 hours in a
Cirrus...interesting because you are right, the speed is the issue. Thanks,
Steve

Steve, I'd guess you're wrong about the last post, since the emphasis here seems
to be on liability coverage.
No one gets hurt in gear up landings, so retract time affects hull coverage more
than liability.
OTOH, a V35 or an RV-10 is not a 172RG. Things happen much faster, it's easier
for pilots to be overwhelmed, get behind, etc. I've been impressed by how quickly
a 10 with full flaps can lose speed with just a little back pressure.
A 172RG doesn't even qualify as a high performance airplane per the FARs.
I may be wrong, but I'd guess it's your lack of time in a high speed airplane that's
driving this.
Of course the insurance industry is hard to understand. When I was in our 182 partnership,
the second $1M of liability cost more than the first $1M! I have no
explanation for that.

#40533 had its first flight a few weeks ago on 10/19/11 after 5 years and 1
1
onths of building. (The slow build option added at least 2 years in my case
.)
he announcement is a bit overdue, but it sure has been a busy few weeks of
test
lying, taking panels and cowling on and off, and transitioning to being a p
ilot
gain.
The plane flies straight, level, and oh so fast and has met or exceeded so
many
xpectations. It truly is a wonderful feeling to have finally gotten here.
hanks go out to all those people in this wonderful community that have prov
ided
uidance, answered stupid questions :), and otherwise contributed their
nowledge to the collective knowledge base over the years. I hope to meet so
me
f you in some future fly-ins now that i have a means of getting there! :)

Jae;
Congratulations! I know how you feel. I am about 2 weeks behind you.
You finding that transitioning to being a pilot again is pretty easy in
the -10? I did the transition training with Alex in June, I encourage
everyone to get some time in a -10 before flying it alone, makes for a
much easier first flight.
Other than the usual high oil temps and CHT on the first couple of
flights as the engine breaks in, the plane has been solid.
Don McDonald has been a great mentor to me and I am so indebted to his
patience, guidance and kindness the last couple of years, Jesse Saint
was a great resource for avionics, Tim Olson and Deems were great in
feedback along the early stages of building . They are just an example
of all those who have been there to answer my questions the last 4 years
of my building. Hard to grasp that I am flying the aluminum that arrived
at my garage back in 2007. I was self build the whole way and loved
every step, although I sure did stress myself over every detail, now
that is paying off for me and I am quite happy with my doing it at the
time, because I sure don=99t want to deal with it NOW!!
Enjoy the flight and scenery. My scenery is hills and mountains north of
San Diego, actually the same area the CAP uses for SAR training, so I
should be mountain flying qualified and dead bored of all the rocks when
my phase 1 is over, but I sure will enjoy the flight. There is so much
to learn about the plane. As a fellow mentor has told me, you will
always learn something even after flying the plane for a year.
If you=99re ever in SoCal, let=99s hook up! Thanks for the
feedback on the Skyview rpm issue
Group;
Looking forward to following in Tim=99s journeys along the
country, I have two daughters, and a wife that wants to learn how to
fly, so I=99m off to a great start! When we make the trip around
the country and finish at Osh next summer I hope I=99ll meet many
of you along the way. I plan 1 fly-in a year, it will be West
Coast/Arizona but I will make it a point to meet and greet anyone there,
just as Deems and others did for me along the way as a builder.
Pascal
