I curently fly a Cherokee. I have a friend who have buyed a RV-6A. Can I use it for transition training for my futur RV-7A ? I guess that the flight caracteristic are very near !
I've trained many guys in my old -6A to transition into, -6A's, -7's and -9A's. The -6A has very quick and light controls..pretty close to a -7A ...very little difference.
I transition trained with Mike Seager in a 6A in prep for flying my 7A. The 7A seemed a bit easier so the 6A was a good plane for transitioning for me. I test flew my 7A a month later.
I have beaucoup time in a 6A. Flew a 7A first flight and 40 hours with no problems....except getting used to the EFIS airspeed. I found that I tended to get slower than normal on final.
