My newly acquired builder's insurance has many sections that will apply when I FINALLY get my RV-8 in the air. One section seems overly restrictive, and may be impossible to comply with. They require..."a written endorsement from a CFI to solo the same make and model as your aircraft."
I plan on getting transition training from a CFI in a side-by-side RV, since the -8 does not have a complete set of fully operational dual controls, and only a couple of guys are willing to "teach" in such an a/c.
Can a CFI provide me an endorsement to solo my RV-8, if he/she has given me training only in a -6, or other side-by-side model?
Wondering if I need to talk to my agent about this clause.
Also: the insurance company wants 10 hours of Dual instruction prior to solo. This seems high. Is it?
Thanks.
