I am beginning to plan the first flight of my 360.  Ideally, I had planned to go
to Oregon to get current (haven't flown in 4 years) and checked out in the
Lancair.  This can't be done now because someone landed the demonstrator gear up
and fixing it is low enough priority that it won't be done this summer according
to the tech rep.  Then the plan is to have one of the factory guys come out and
inspect the bird and fly it the first time.  Avemco seems a little slow on the
whole subject but sent me a quote assuming I go through the EAA flight advisors
program and that the test pilot also go through the fight advisor's program if I
want to avoid the clause saying that the first 10 hours of flight are uncovered.
 My question is:  how do I get adequate time in the 360 to get competent with it
before I take mine solo?  I suppose I could keep the test pilot around for
awhile but is that the right plan?

Comments appreciated,
