Default Tailwheel Conversion / Training

Hi All,

I just converted my RV-7A into a RV-7. I'm getting ready for my first flight and would like to get a ride in a -6, -7, or -9 with someone just to make sure there are no surprises.

I have ~700hrs in RV's, but it's all A model time. My tailwheel time is all in a Citabria. I realize there are transition instructors around the country, but I don't see any within reasonable driving distance from Raleigh.

I'll be glad to pay for all gas/expenses/etc.

Thanks,

Greg

Thanks for the response. I'll be going up with a friend in his -6 tomorrow, so I think I'm set now. If all goes well, I'll be taking the first flight in my bird on Sunday!

Greg,

when you are ready, I'd love to do some side-by-side comparisons on power settings, speed, and fuel flow.
