When I flew the prototype last August Van's indicated that there would be transition training in the RV-12 available at several locations around the country by this time. Obviously that hasn't happened-- insurance???
All my time other than 30 minutes in the prototype has been done with a yoke and steam gauges. I'd like to get 4-5 hours with a stick and Dynon before making the first flight of 143WM in a couple of months, but unless someone is courageous enough-- and has proper insurance-- to offer left seat time in a -12 I'm thinking of renting a SportStar that a local FBO has. Same engine and avionics and same flight regime as a -12, though I know it will handle differently. Does anyone have enough experience with both to offer yea/nay thoughts?
Thanks!
