I will do as AMA requires. The waiver will be very easy for me as I have flown many high speed planes and the guys that will do my waiver already said it will be easy for me. I am in the AF as an aircraft mechanic and engine run certifier and worked on the engines. I have flown many model planes with zero prop thrust on flight controls.

The only thing that has help me back was the upfront cost. I wont go with cheap components either.

So by the book is the right way for me.
