Just to clarify, under the new rules as I read it, any waivered turbine pilot can use the buddy box to train an unwaivered pilot, but that unwaivered pilot must still do his check flight in front of a Turbine CD to get his waiver. After the 2nd pilot is waivered you then could vouch for each other's proficiency and number of flights per year to stay current.

under the new regs you could train a friend on a buddy box, get him a waiver, then you two can sign each other off whenever necessary.

The pilot will successfully perform a qualification flight consisting of all flight maneuvers from AMA document 538 under the supervision of two experienced turbine pilots, one of whom is a contest director.
That reads to me as a normal waiver holder who is ALSO an AMA contest director, NOT an "AMA designated turbine signoff contest director" (which required even more paperwork than just getting the waiver and becoming a CD) as the old rules read. This opens up a larger number of people to sign off initial turbine waivers.

RE: UMA Insurance Group
I hate the fact I have to shelve the transmitters and take out the dremel every year around this time. Fortunately, when we get some of those 20 degree days in the winter, I put on some shorts and T-shirts and get in a couple flights. The air density really boosts the performance! I envy those that live in warmer climates, but I know if I lived there, I wouldn't have any planes to fly due to the lack of a building season. So I guess it all evens out. I'll be putting together two turbines (King Cat and L39), a senior telemaster with lights for night flying, and a electric sailplane this winter. Can't do that with sunshine and 70's. 
For the time being, I'll be content to stare at BirdofpraY's avitar and dream of, er, ah, well, whatever comes to mind

I agree with David, the recert issue is just not a big deal, at least for most of us. If I lived out in the middle of no-where, I might feel different. Bird O' Prey has it right, we'd best be best friends and stick together like glue cause there be them that wanna pry us apart for sure!
