Yes, there are a few Flight Instructors out there who will give FRs in the RVs. My CFI has told me he'll do my FR for free as long as he gets to fly in my 9A.
Can't help but rag-on-him about buying a 180 instead of letting me help build his own 9.
But then again, if he were to build his own RV he may not be as willing to give me free FRs just for a chance to fly in mine...

a couple of instructors have given me a BFR in my RV9, three to be exact. it's a nice way to complete the requirement.

Anyone, anywhere feel free to contact me for a flight review in your RV if you are in a bind. Seriously. We can probably work something out that is not very costly, because I love to help, and I love our airframes.

YEA, I remember my first BFR in my 9A, After taking off, and getting up to about 2500ft and away from the Airfield, I asked my CFI, "Ok, what would you like me to do?" She promptly told me, (with almost excitement in her voice)," I want you to let me fly this thing!"... AND...
Towards the end of our flight, I was in control, we were about 3,000 feet AGL, at cruise speed and maybe 5 or 6 miles out, on a parallel course to the field, she reached up and pulled the throttle to idle, and said " OK simulate engine out, head back and assume best glide and see if you can make it back to the airport, " .. I did so, but had to tell her, "if I assume best glide, we will overshoot the airfield by about 5 miles"..hehe..she said.."Really?"..

This whole journey started for me when one of you throttle jockeys in an rv6 took off in front of me, while I was flight training in a c150.

It also scared the p o o p out of me with how steep the landing descent is, --------- Add flaps on a 172, and it drops like a brick.

I was terrified, seriously.

Man, I hear you loud and clear.

After selling the RV 10, we bought a 172 so my wife could finish up getting her license-----started 14 years prior in a Stinson.

She really never grasped why I hardly ever flew the 172.

That is an awesome line! Sure to be a meme!
