I assume that you're talking about flight testing. Fifty hours? I'd always heard it was a 40 hour flight test requirement for AB experimentals, maybe less if you have a certificated engine.

My latest investment as a part-owner and pilot of the UK's only flying Catalina based in Duxford. Not exactly a BackCountry aircraft and quite different to fly compared to my regular bush steed in Papua, but I still love her

Dude. You're killing me!! The Catalina is on my list of "Type Ratings I Will Have Before I Croak"...

Love it! Congratulations!

The PBY is BONZER Mate! Love her dearly.

Cheesy grin having got my type rating

I hope to do the seaplane rating in September which will be a whole new world for me having never done floats before but I simply cannot wait!

Good stuff Indo! Love the Cat!

New airplane in the fleet. .

Cute!

After a long two and a half month annual/weight loss program, I'm back. New floorbords (giant pita on a covered airplane) oil cooler alternator, cgr-30 Dakota masters trig radio and transponder and a windshield.

Great looking panel, Tom. I'm jealous!

Just got back from COE Friday (1 day trip). Visited the folks at Selkirk and got my extended baggage installed.

After





Lots more room for camping gear!
