Well I have done it ! I bought my first RV, a 6A. (and it's my first airplane actually). I am excited about flying it but I also understand I should have some type of transition training. The insurance company says I need 1 hour before I solo but that being said I have to figure out how to get it before I go pick it up and fly it back to Kansas from Philly Pa. Any ideas ? Anyone close to Wichita that has either a 6a,7a,9a that can instruct me for an hour ? My brief history is I am currently a Medivac helicopterPilot with 7000+ hrs helicopters and airplanes, about evenly mixed. In airplanes - 1900 multi (beech baron's to B-100 King air's), 96 tail wheel, the rest single engine land with 200+ being Grumman Tigers (I've been told repeatedly an RV flys like a tiger on steroids, but I'll take that with a grain of salt). 1 hour doesn't sound like much but that gives me a long solo cross country to polish the skills.
Thanks for any input
