My Kitfox 4 is nearly ready for inspection and first flight, after way too much time spent building. I'm hoping you can help me with some questions.

I'm an 1100 hour private pilot with a tail wheel endorsement but very little tail wheel time. The insurance company wants me to have 5 hours in type before flying my plane, is there anyone near southeast Georgia who can offer transition training?

The insurance man says he'll consider reducing the transition time if I've logged recent time in a similar plane. My hangar neighbor has offered to take me up for pattern work in his Champ. Is there a legal way to log this time if the other pilot isn't a CFI?

My Kitfox is at Swaids Field, 2GA2. If any of y'all are in the neighborhood, I'd love to have you visit.

Thanks,
Jack
