After way too many years I finally had DAR Tom Giehart come out and give Zodiac N601BK his approval.
I quickly found that the insurance company wanted 5 hours in a 601 before the would cover me. I had been flying a sport cruiser but they would not accept that.
I contacted Paul Hamilton in Carson City NV and scheduled time with him in their SLSA 601XLi. (Paul(at)SportAviationCenter.com 775:747-0175) I was not too excited about another 1100 mile car trip, but it turned out to be one of the most fun times I have had in many years. Paul made the 5 hours some of the most enjoyable flight instruction I have ever had. N601ZL, their XL, is a delight to fly and the Carson City area is as beautiful as any place I have ever flown.
With Paul's endorsement in my log the insurance was happy. So, Thursday evening Zodiac 601XLb N601BK made its first flight over Bountiful Utah. The plane feels nearly identical to the SLSA I flew earlier in the week.
Thanks to everyone here on the list. I do not post very often, but I look at the list daily and many of you have provided help for which you have never received credit.
Thanks to Paul's help, I have had no bad surprises in the first 3 flights.
