Yeah, I'm bare assed, all right. I fly naked, too.

I know I'm supposed to get the dual before I go solo, but I'll get that taken care of next week, after Thanksgiving. It's like giving a kid a sucker, letting him unwrap it, maybe even let him smell it, then tell him he can't have it for a week. I'm weak that way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So, it's not even insured yet. What's the point unless I meet the requirements. I know, there'll be crap slung over this one, and I know the ramifications. So, I'll get the dual as quick as I can and hope like hell nothing bad happens. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Truth be known you are insured. Just "self-insured". You have made a concious economic decision to accept the risks associated with operating the aircraft without third party insurance. Nothing wrong with this at all as long as you know and acknowledge it, so off you go.

I am curious, however...is there a required endorsement for "conventional" gear, or if I get a tail dragger, can I start flying it immediately? Interesting as I don't remember any differentiation between conventional and tri-gear aircraft. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
