 |
|
Hello all,
I am in the process of ordering a RV 7 kit. I still have not made the
choice of taildragger or trike.
Despite Larry Bowen's free ride to Goose Creek last Saturday, he
chose not let me land Nifty from the rear seat, imagine that!
Anyway, I have only about 3 hours of taildragger time (2500 total)
and need some first hand training in a -6 or-7. Is anyone near GSO
that can offer this service?
I will also be doing triai flights in my instructor's Maule. This is
a very different aircraft from the Van's.
As I have not started the kit there is still time before a decision
has to be finalized, but would like to do some flying in September.
If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David Lee

There are instructors listed on various Vans web sites, including VAF. None
are in NC. I am not aware of anyone local who has an airplane with the
right insurance for instruction. They generally require that you have a
tail wheel sign off before you do the transition training (if you are going
that route). Good luck.

I got some very benefitial training from the Super Decathelon at INT. It
has similar manners as the RV, though everthing happens in slow motion.
Yes, it's tandem, but I think it still might help. I can give you contact
info if interested.
