Mike,

I not only reccomend flight instruction for your first
flight, but also a professional test pilot for the first
flight.  The FARS state that the first 40 hours must be accomplished with only required flight crew.
An instructor is required flight crew.  Besides the
folks reccommended I suggest Major Doug Dodson
of the Edwards AF Test Pilot School.   Work number
661-277-5607. He flew up to San Francisco with Gale, his wife and we had a marvelous weekend of instruction and sociable comapany.  Doug is one of the best instructors I have had since Marge at Ameilia Aviation at
Ried Hillview.  Something to be said for the methodical
nature of the Air Force training regieme.

BTW I am in SF I would like to visit your project some
time Please Email so we could get together.
