Hello, Mike.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome to the forum, and thanks so much for the info!
My dad and I will both be flying it. I've had recent experience in a 172 RG (trying to get my commercial), but I'm sure the Vans will be a bit different once it's done. My dad needs to get current again (it's been a few years.) So I guess we need, at a minimum, whatever our insurance requirements are (we're trying to square away our paperwork at present.) But it never hurts to get more experience than the minimum required.
Here are some photos of our project:

I'll gladly take a look at the link you sent (I haven't updated it in about a year, but I hope to, soon.)
Cheers and blue skies,
Connie
So...I have to mention...the shot of your Quality Control Rodent got us laughing over here for a good five minutes.
Connie,
I have just gone through the transition training process and bit the bullet to get a instructor in the 7A. My insurance company wanted 5 hours in the same type aircraft with an approved instructor. I live in Eastern Colorado, Wray (2v5), and drove to Des Moines for the hours. It was a pain, but I had no luck finding anyone closer. Supposely there is a guy in Arizona, but I was never able to get a hold of him. Let me know if you need more details. Randy

Those little folds of wool hats are good places to store nuts, yeah?
real neat to have those folks with experience come help you out on the plane. hope you got some good stories out of them.
I recently had some good time getting transition training with mike seager in vernonia, i know it isn't very close to CO.
