The cfi/pic of the aircraft, with 750 hours experience in the aircraft, stated the PIC duties were shared with both him and the privacy data omitted/builder. The privacy data omitted/builder said the cfi/pic was hired to help with instruction and testing. The privacy data omitted/builder did not have a current medical and no time in the aircraft model.
