Hey Marshall,
My name is John McLeroy. I am a specialist instructor and preferred training provider for Searey aircraft. My company, CaptainSpeak, LLC provides training to purchasers of Searey aircraft whether used or new kit built. I have also worked with Progressive Aerodyne during the flight testing phase of the LSX and am familiar with each iteration of Searey from the early "A" kits to the latest versions and most in between.
You will find the Searey family to be one of the tightest knit, best group of flying people anywhere. I'm constantly meeting new students with all kinds of backgrounds, Airline Captains to newly minted Sport Pilots and providing their checkouts and initial training with the same enthusiasm they bring to the table. It is hands down one FUN airplane. We'll all be a part of your build, from Kerry right on down the line at PA, then all the people you'll meet and talk with about your build, to the training and fledge trips you'll take.
It's an epic journey. Big words, I know. But its a promise...
321-287-3650 anytime and we'll work with you to be safe and skilled for your adventure!
John
