| 0:21.5 | So if you have questions, don't be afraid to call the examiner or ask questions or I've |
| 0:25.0 | had people even shoot me texts and screenshots and pictures and stuff and say, hey, is this |

| 0:29.5 | And if there's an issue, we can address it ahead of time. |

| 1:12.0 | advice on next steps. So go ahead and give me a ring. It's a free consultation at 650967 |
| 1:17.3 | 2,500 and possibly a free demo flight. Now last week in episode 138, we talked about wake |
