Al, on my plane's second flight I went along also with the test 

pilot. I told him: you just handle the throttle, stick and the 

pedals. I'll wary about engine.

I was the necessary  crew - the flight engineer, and he was the test 

pilot.

This way my eyes were glued to the instruments and he just flew the 

plane. And it went fine.

Just something to think about?

Our agreement was that I would go along on the second flight, but since the first flight was cut short, and I was undecided about further flight until the oil temp issue was considered more thoroughly (and he was anxious to go see his girl friend).  Maybe next time.
