I am nearing my DAR inspection and would like to know if there is anyone who would be willing to provide some stick time in their airplane over the next month or two - so I may perform the first flight in my airplane.

 

I am not willing to spend $5000 on some professional flight training school who really only knows Legacys and IV-P's anyway.  Everyone knows 320's are better anyway !!! hee hee hee

 

I'd like to keep as close to my configuration as possible.  I have a O-320-D3G with a Hartzell constant speed prop,  with a long engine mount, big MKII tail, small tires, shock absorbers, no header. 

 

Obviously, beggers can't be choosers so any 320 would be awesome!   I'd be willing to come to your airport or you can come to mine.  I'm located in the Rochester, NY area.

 

Also, I'd like to hear other's DAR inspection experiences.  Did you have to do a retract test for the inspector? Did you have panels removed when he arrived? Did you do taxi tests for him?  Did you have cowling off, seats out, etc. etc.

 

Just want to be prepared.

P.S.  I guess another possibility is to have someone you suggest to flight test my airplane.
