I have decided to give my RV-6A to my oldest son instead of selling it. It will be quite a bit less expensive to add a training component to my insurance policy and do his PPL training in the 6A over FBO rentals fees. However, I need a CFI that can manage the balance between letting a student learn how to land and not letting the student land on the nose gear. Hoping that he can be trained from day one to always execute "soft field" landings with a nose up attitude.
Therefore, I need a CFI with enough skill and finesse to manage this somewhat unique situation. I am also considering having my son do a few lessons in a typical trainer to work through the initial landing work.
Does anyone know a good CFI to work with? Unsure if plane will be based at BJC or APA, as both are a similar distance to his home and haven't checked into tie down costs.
I would appreciate any recommendations.
