RV-6 training Illinois or Missouri

An acquaintance of mine is interested in purchasing an RV6. He has no tailwheel experience. He would like to go ahead and get some RV dual before he starts his buying adventure. Any suggestions for thorough instructors in the central/southern Illinois or Missouri area? Possibly this instructor might be a helpful in guiding him towards a good airplane as well. Currently he flies a Bonanza. Thanks in advance.

Frank Baldwin is a CFI in Troy MO about 50 miles wet of STL. He has a RV-6. I know he did tail wheel training for another guy building a 7. pm me and I can give you his number.

Thanks, sent you a pm. I used to live in Troy, but haven't been out there for many, many years.
