Hi Everyone,

My Legacy, N513TM is still in the shop getting upgrades. It's looking like the plane won't be ready in time for me to use it during PRS (Pylon Racing Seminar) or the FAST clinic (for formation flying). For those that don't know, both of these events happen at Reno-Stead airport during the week of June 15th. They give Reno racers the opportunity for formation and race training using the actual course. Unlike the real race, high speed isn't necessary, most of the focus is on procedures, formation flying, and relevant skill polishing. There's no need to push the airplane during PRS or the FAST clinic.

I'm trying to see if some kind soul will allow me the use of their Legacy during this week for training. I'd be happy to pay for the use of the airplane, and have no problem having someone fly right seat with me during the entire time I'm using the plane (I need to find out who would be allowed to do this under the rules). I also am fine with insuring it as needed. I can also abide by any flight restrictions you want to impose on me. I'll be very grateful for your help, and I hope you would come to the air races as my guest in September.

I participated in both the FAST clinic and PRS last year, and raced in Reno as well, without breaking anything. Any takers? Please be sure to email me directly as well as post to the list, so I don't miss a response by accident (tom.mcreynolds@gmail.com). I'd prefer a Legacy just because I have so much time in mine, I think it makes it the easiest/most straightforward way to go. I am open to flying other types though.
