Instructor in St. Louis

[markgtruitt]

I bought a 7A recently and I have it located at Muskogee, Oklahoma. I am in the process of getting my private license and currently have 37 hours. Most of my hours came from flying a Cessna 150, with 1 hour in Cessna 172 and 5 hours transition training in RV 7. The challenge is that I am flight training in Muskogee, but working in St. Louis most of the time. If I get back on a Friday and weather is bad, I'm out of luck. I will be off the last couple of weeks and I hope to be able to focus and get a check ride on January 2nd. I would like to start flying in St. Louis some with an instructor to get used to this airspace. Would love to have an instructor that has or is very familiar with an RV 7A. Does anyone know a good CFI in this area? Thanks,

Mark Truitt
