A local CFI just told me FAA recently said no training for compensation in experimental. Just checking to see what everyone knows about the situation.
You or the CFI need to apply for a LODA with your names on it for transition training ONLY....
You will need a LODAWhat if I need him to do my BFR? Or instrument work?

Buy the CFI lunch (for the rest of the year )
So what my CFI tells me (I found the other thread after) is that their insurance won’t allow them to instruct w a LODA so that is useless . My 15 year old wanted to start training soon, figured I’d save some money using my own plane .
Go down a few posts and look for the thread with over 100 replies, to read this sad story.
what thread are you referring to?
Yeah, that's the other side of the problem. If there's a claim from a "mishap" while doing flight instruction, the company insuring the plane will cover it, but will subrogate against the flight instructor. Might not be an issue if the CFI has his own insurance covering instruction. Or...it might be a deal-breaker depending on the instructor and his/her insurance (or lack thereof)...
