Default Tailwheel Transition trianing

Hello, I am looking for a person to do some tail wheel transition training near Orlando. I am looking to buy a RV-6 or RV-7 once my Searey Sells and just need a few hours to get familiar with take offs, landings and any other tips to learn. I have a lot of tail wheel time with owning my Searey and do not have need any type of sign off by a CFI.

Please let me know.

If you don't need a tail wheel sign-off and already have a bit of TW time, just hire Jan when you get your -6 or -7. That's what I did, and Jan is great.

Thanks so much for the information, I was thinking about getting a few lessons just in case I have to fly it back from where it is located at once I buy it. I will see once I get a little closer to purchasing one.
