Default RV-4 Transition Training in Northeast?

I am very seriously considering purchasing a RV-4, but I have neither a tailwheel endorsement, nor any experience in RVs...Alot of Cessna 152/172 hours, but not much else. Does anyone know of anybody in the northeast who offers RV transition training? Thanks!

Default Nobody..

.....above the Mason-Dixon line is listed on here or anywhere, as a transition training instructor, Josh. Too bad because a bunch of guys from the northern states (Michigan, Missouri, Ohio) have come South for that.

You'd be better off to get some Citabria or Super Cub dual and a tailwheel endorsement at the same time. If you check out www.safeair1.com and scroll down to "RV transition training", then click on the appropriate windsock, you'll find several tailwheel RV trainers. After doing the training in a -6 or -7, the -4 will be easy.

Regards,
