About a year ago, I did my IFR training in my RV-6 and got signed off for the practical test. We had an examiner lined up and a date set....twice. But, my aged panel failed a few days before the test both times. (Thus, the Mikey panel project!) That issue plus a cross-country move caused me to put the practical aside. Now the panel is ready, my written is still good, and I need to start planning my exam. (However, the examiner is no longer available.)
I'm interested in hearing the experiences of folks who did their practical exam in their RV. Maybe even information on what examiners will consider an RV in Texas/New Mexico/California or even other areas. At one point I tried going to a big-time flight school and using a spam can for this last step, but the experience was awful....bad instructor, poorly maintained plane, and outrageous price. So, I'm back to hoping I can find an examiner and have a good experience. Suggestions?
