amen bro I hear ya.

If what I read about pilots having to re-certify every year is true, then I think thats going to be a major issue....if it's true.

Right now I'm in a big hassel just to get a waiver because I don't have a plane to qualify with. I sold all my ducted fans years ago when I took a brake from the hobby. So the ducted fan I have access to now is no where near 150mph and does not have flaps. The plane I have that does 150 doesn't have retracts or flaps. The plane I have with flaps probably doesn't even do 80mph.
So what to do?
Shok,
Although you would need to check with the TCD that will be doing your check ride, it is possible to perform your test with multiple aircraft. One to assess your ability to handle a complex aircraft (flaps, gear etc...) and one to assess your ability to handle the speed.
