A buddy and I need transition training in Northern California, preferably near Sacramento, but Bay Area is OK too. Prefer nosegear RV but we both have 100+ hours in tailwheels (some years ago). Please post here, or PM, or email.

Thanks!

Pretty sure Hal can fly any RV you have. His specialty is taildraggers.

Contact Hal for more info/specific questions.

Hal Stephens is an excellent instructor and can fly taildraggers or nosedraggers equally well. You can't go wrong with Hal.

Does Hal instruct in his own RV, or does he use the student's?

same question

It would be pretty hard to get the transition training worked into the Phase I plan. So, if I'm just finishing my RV-8 and getting ready to fly it, we obviously need a different RV for transition training!

I need a tailwheel RV for transition training, so let us know!

Thanks all-

I talked to Hal a few minutes ago, he does not have his own RV so instructs in owners' airplanes. He does have hangar space at Placerville for owners to leave their airplane there for a while until they are comfortable solo.
