I am hoping to finish my 8 by summer, and was wondering if there was any transition training in a 6 or 7 available in the Midwest, perhaps the Minneapolis area? I am in eastern North Dakota, and would like to be able to fly our C-180 to the training.

Thanks for any help

Tom Berge

Check out Tom Berge here in Minne. He has built 2 RV's and is super guy.
He spends a lot of time in my hangar, so I have to say that....

Give him a call. It will be time well spent.

I talked to Tom, he does not have a tailwheel RV available. I should find out what the insurance company wants on Monday or Tuesday, if it needs to be a tailwheel.

Any other suggestions?

Try John Musgrave at C09 Morris IL. He has a 4 set up to do transition, and he is a great instructor. 217-322-7049

You may also want to contact Jim Delveau, Ankeny, Iowa. He has an RV6 and access to an RV7-A. His VAF handle is Jimd, he may be in Florida right now but you should be able to contact him. Also try searching VAF using delveau for posts and additional information.
