Curious to see how many CFI's are around Savannah that could do a checkout in a RV6/A.
I'm an Army helo pilot, about to pull the trigger on my first airplane. I have a good friend / coworker who is my CFI, as I am about 10 solo hours shy of my PPL. But he has never flown any Van's aircraft, so I am just looking for someone who could give me 5 hours or so of dual-checkout.
On a side note -- is buying a RV6 a good choice for a new fixed wing pilot? I have my commercial rotor license with an IFR rating so I am comfortable being in all types of airspace. The RV6 is really what I want in terms of price and what my mission will be, I just dont know if its too sporty for a student pilot.
