Rudder pedals for the GIB.
That's the kind of GA I can get excited about.
It’s your aircraft...I should have let you answer!
No biggie... Heck, there is a chance I don’t even know.. Never did GA. I’m learning all this on the fly..
So, with no GA experience you bought an AMATEUR built aircraft, jumped in and flew it 200 miles? Holy cow. I'd be hearing all sorts of imagined noises and seeing needles quivering and digits blinking the entire flight. I'd need plenty of Pepto bismol for that trip.
Don't you need at least a PPL and a type rating?
Type ratings are only for aircraft with max gross weight over 12,500lbs and for any jet.
(There are one or two light aircraft that have special FARs requiring specific type training, but an SFAR requirement is legally different that a type rating.)
@FrankTheTank trip into MO1 got me remembering a flood a while back.
Great airfield for an amphib! Is yours the same one along the river?

He filled out an ORM sheet and took it to the Opso. His numbers were way too high so OPS told him to change a couple numbers and get the X.
More like 300 miles.. (Tulsa to Memphis) Oh, off a grass strip too.. Oh and took the AM jumpseat so left the house at 0115. Got back around 1630. Brought it back with another Airbus Captain that owns a Pitts S2.. So more got to scare him than myself. Shockingly, it’s much more stable than I expected!
I have a MEL ATP and SEL Commercial.. Which trumps a PPL. Fun fact is I have never had a Private.
added picture for clarity
