New SkyMaster owner
I'm joining the ranks of Skymaster owners, trading in my beloved straight-tail 172 towards a Super Skymaster. Due diligence and paperwork are in the final stages, and hopefully, I will take ownership either this weekend or (more likely) next weekend.
Insurance wants me to have 10 hours with an experienced Skymaster instructor since all my prior MEL hours were in baby Barons). Hopefully, I can get one of the CFIs I know in North Carolina with 337 experience to go to Florida with me. I know two but am not sure of their availability. Alternatively, maybe I can find one somewhere near Daytona Beach, Florida to help me ferry it back to the Charlotte area.
I'm glad there is an owner's group like this to support these great airplanes!
