If you are buying, just make sure there is an "official" PIC for
test flights. Once you own it, it is available and the problem
goes away. I had to do this when I bought to keep the insurance co
happy.

This is the bit I'm talking about. If I buy an a/c that nobody has for rent,
how do I get legally rated to fly it. Di I just get an instructor to give me
a check rife in it? What if I can't find an instructor who has actually
flown that particular a/c.
For example, I might want to buy a Karatoo. (Ultralight 2 seater)
I've flown a Gazelle ultralight 2 seater, and that is the only a/c I can
legally fly, but nobody rents the Karatoo, so if I buy one, what do I do to
be able to legally fly it?
I know it all hypothetical, (for the foreseeable future!), but it's just
something that popped into my head this morning.
I may be assuming limitations where none in fact exist. I'll ask at the
school in a few weeks when I get back there. Thanks again.
