All flying is good flying especially if you test yourself with emergency scenarios and be critical.  Examples:  single flap extension, loss of rudder, gear halfway down, NORDO, loss of fuel cap, flight into IMC, WHIFF OF SMOKE, ETC.
EXCITING TIMES.

I contacted over 3 brokers (including the one recommended by Velocity) and none were able to give me a quote.  It seems its the RG that is the problem.  Avemco req'd 10hrs retract time and the Velocity transition training, others were requiring a min of 50hrs RG time.  The premium is just shy of $1K for $1M liability (no hull).  Also, they will adjust the premium as soon as I get to 48hrs in type.

I had planned to do the NY VFR corridor, but it only had one working radio and the transponder "sort of" worked, so I didn't feel comfortable taking it on a long XC.  I need another couple hours, so I'll put them in later this week before first flight.
