William, Neils



I don't particularly want to turn this in to who is wrong and who is

right.... there isn't a definitive answer.



Yes you can successfully test fly your own aircraft, many people have.  Its

all about the preparation.  Assuming that the owner is well prepared there

is still one key difference between the owner and a test pilot.



The test pilot does not have any emotional attachment to the aircraft and if

things don't go well he is likely to make different piloting decisions.



So essentially if nothing goes wrong, and for a well prepared aircraft that

would be 99% of the time, then it can be a rewarding experience, as it was

in my case.



The article I was refering to is on my WEB site, but here is the direct

link.

Thanks.  I was certainly planning to "qualify" on a europa and do some

unusual attitudes on an RV 4 before attempting the challenge.  Having said

that I feel that this moment is a long way off...

Paul,

You are totally right, there are too many variables for one

correct solution.

And if I must be serious and honest with meself, and with all of you too, of 

course,

I am convinced that your advise is the one to follow in the great majority 

of cases.

still, it could be - if not fun, then interesting to read about the 

experience of others.

Some of us perform best alone, others- most, probably- wisely benefit from 

asistance

of more experienced peers.

Niels
