REFLECTOR: Insurance advice needed

[Geoff Gerhardt]

Sid,

Thanks for your thoughtful response - I appreciate the full monetary value
you put in it.

I felt very comfortable in the Velocity, but it was a transition,
particularly landing.  Landing an Arrow and a Velocity are different, so
for a new Velocity pilot like me, yes, I think repeated landings in an
Arrow would "unlearn" some of the reflexes I developed during transition
training.  Would it make me worse, maybe not, but my point was I don't
think it would make me better at flying/landing a Velocity.
