Hi all, new to VAF as I've just purchased a 1/3 share of a flying RV-9 based at KSQL.
I'm still waiting on details for the insurance but I believe that I'm going to need 10 hours of training in a tailwheel side-by-side RV (but not necessarily a 9, since tailwheel 9s are relatively uncommon and there may not be anybody with a LODA to instruct in one).
I contacted Mike Seager and he's booking out at the end of April, which I understand is a pretty good lead time for him and would be pretty reasonable if I were finishing up a build, but is a while to wait around with a working airplane. Does anybody know of any other instructors on the west coast who might be available on shorter notice? Or is it worth it to wait the couple of months and go fly with Mike?
