Hi Bill,

I should've mentioned this in my original message. I chose my CFI
carefully.  He has many, many hours in this specific airplane, not just make
and model :)  He flies the airplane practically every w/end.

I will take the rwy length advice into account and make a decision at the
end of the training.  It'll likely be Caldwell or Greenwood Lake. 2100ft
would be worst case scenario, and in such as case, there would be some
headwind component (otherwise I'd land the other way and have 2600ft
usable).

Through a lot of reading and research, I've learned about some of the
characteristics of this airplane that make it quite different to a typical
training aircraft. So, while I clearly have a lot to learn, and haven't yet
flown the aircraft once...I feel like I'm off to the right start. I'm ready
to learn and will not fly it solo until the gentleman on my right tells me
it is safe to do so. I'm well aware that this plane can kill you in a
heartbeat, but I'm ready to show it the respect and focus it deserves and
take my flying to the next level.

110kts, a big, clumsy yoke, a roll-rate that requires time lapse photography
to detect any actual change, and a wing that is always in the way....I'm
ready to give it all away and step into the Lancair.

Keith
