Fellow RV’s,
Today I finished up my transition training with Dave Maib in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I must share what a terrific experience I had and that Dave is a great instructor, mentor and overall great guy.
For those who are already flying, then you know what I’m about to say, the RV-10 is a truly spectacular flying machine. An awesome balance of power and perfectly coordinated controls makes the airplane just tremendously fun to fly. For those that have not yet flown an RV-10 yet, think of the first time you heard music on a CD, or drove a Porsche over 100 mph on an exit ramp, or flew aerobatics, then you start to get the idea of the experience. The airplane is just a pleasure to fly in each and every phase of flight.
Dave’s RV-10 is a magnificent example of the model, well appointed in every way. Dave’s open communication and training style was among the best I’ve every had in my 30 yrs of flying. Thanks for doing a great job getting me prepared to fly my airplane.
Central Florida was a great place to train, we had many different types of airport environments to work the RV-10 through all types of scenarios. From uncontrolled airports to towered airports with multiple runways to facilities loaded with airplanes doing flight training to places to try instrument approaches, we had a great selection of experience to understand how best to work the –10.
Hopefully, in the coming month I’ll get to put the skills to work on N541RV. Dave’s guidance has provided me with the confidence to move to the next stage. THANKS!!

I did my training three weeks ago. David is very patient and knowledgable. I was able to check off everything on my to do list while there, even 16G25 direct xw landings. I was still nervous on my first flight, but not because of my flying ability. Transition training takes care of that. How much did it cost me including airfare/accomodations/meals.....Less than 1% of total build cost.
Worth every dollar!
