Howdy, Moonshine.
I'm in Georgetown (about 200 miles NW of HOU) and I use Sugarland (SGR) as my portal to houston whenever I'm headed that direction.
I'd love to demo the SkyMaster for your friend.
there are only four problems....
First, my boss (plane owner) keeps me randomly (franticly) busy and I cant even predict what I will be doing a few hours in advance...let alone schedule days ahead (grrr).
Second, I'm still very new to SkyMasters (only 22hrs time in type) so any demo would likely not represent the capabilities of the plane as much as it would demonstrate my LACK of capabilities.
Third, I have fresh engines and 11 hours remaining on break-in. Most demos want to chow off the full performance of the aircraft....I'm stuck at 60% for a little while longer.
Lastly, my bird is so heavily modded-out that it may not give him a representative sampling for what he may find on the market. I'm not arrogant enough to claim better or worse (yet)...but it is different.
Whith all this in mind. Send me a message when he's in Texas and if I can, I jump over and show him the plane. But I wont be doing any high-speed, low-passes.....I like my wings of equal length.
