Thanks Joe. Any of those folks prone to giving rides that you're aware of?

Ray Community Airport 57D is a friendly place. I can not speak for the other two RV-12 pilots, but I would be willing to give a ride, perhaps this weekend if it stops raining.

That would be incredible! I'll PM you my number.

I'm anxious to see how it compares to the 152s I was training in. I got to talk to Bill and look at his plane yesterday and he said the 12 was easier to fly than the 152. I trained in a 172 once or twice too and I wasn't very impressed with that either. My buddy flew in from out of state in his RV-8 and gave me a ride, let me take the stick a little - I was blown away at how smooth and light on the controls it was - granted, it was an absolutely perfect day though.

So I did find out that Troy Air Experience has a StingSport, which should be closer to the RV-12 than a C162. I took a discovery flight in their 162 many years ago. Sounds like they would be my best bet.
