When at kgkt, did you go to Dollywood while you waited? That airport is only an hour from home. So it’s worth investigating for my 200 hour which is about a year away. Does Spearman have all the computer connections and software for the NG?

He gave me his car a few times... and a few times I used the crew car

I went to Black Rifle Coffee Company and had breakfast... then worked there.

Once, my son and I went to Iron Mountain Sporting Clays and shot shotguns.

Sometimes I have lunch in Sevierville... there are a number of good places

One time I went up into the park and walked for a while.

Then back to KGKT

Yes he has 4 or so of his team trained on NG and has the computer connections etc... he has relationships at Diamond and Austro.

Bottom line he has EVERYTHING to do the job in advance... computers, parts etc... and it is always DONE after 6 or so hours. Totally worth the price.

Wow that's impressive.. I've never had an annual done in less than 2 weeks for my DA42NG.. can he also do the 42?

Glenn/Southtec has had me out in just over a week for two consecutive annuals. I'm due end of June so hope it doesn't take a month. Maybe longer for NG's than my XLS Lycoming?

I have an XL, but they've had to send out parts for repair the past two years which slowed things down. I keep thinking the next annual will be better, but that hasn't happened.
