I'm New Here
Hello all.
I am hoping that the wider RV community can assist me please. Firstly the background:
I am a part owner of an RV7A which is fabulous. Its primary owner is my Father in Law who is now 80+yo and pretty well past it and who has extremely kindly thrown me the keys. Unfortunately though, right at the moment I have only 40hrs of instruction up and as yet, do not yet have a licence to fly by myself. As such, I have been undergoing flight instruction from a great instructor in the RV7, which is/was a perfect arrangement - cheaper, great instruction in the worlds best light aeroplane, and local..
Unfortunately, my instructor yesterday got some medical results back which have immediately and permanently cancelled his ability to fly and therefore instruct. Sure, this is a pain for me, but I really feel for him as his whole world has been aeroplanes and he is right now in a terrible flat spin...
So I am seeking a qualified instructor who knows RV7's, to instruct me in order to complete my training. The aircraft and I are both based in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. I have spoken to people in Ballarat who are my best choice so far but there is nobody there who has had anything to do with RV's. I have also considered a return to the Bacchus Marsh school but this is very much not my preference. I therefore just thought that I'd throw this out there and see if anybody has a great solution for me?
Thanks guys - any thoughts or suggestions will be very much appreciated and considered as I simply can't wait to get up there and amongst you.
Regards,
Geoff
