--> MurphyMoose-List message posted by: "Chris In Madison" <cowens@cnw.com>
Hi Al,
Thanks for the feedback.
To be honest, I have literally zero experience. I'm starting my filght training
next spring/summer, and the Moose is my ultimate goal. I'm trying to plan my
optimal training path so I can get the right amount of time in the proper number
of aircraft. A guy's gotta have a goal :-)
I'm not getting any younger (39 next week), so I want to be as efficient as possible
if I hope to have a Moose by the time I turn 50 :-)
Thanks again for your insight.
Best regards,
Chris

Yes, you can pay for transition training with a couple gotchas.
Generallly you cannot use an experimental aircraft for compensation or
hire but that does not preclude you from paying for flight instruction
in one. The trick is, other than your own aircraft, who is going to loan
you their baby to train in? And don't think you can get away with paying
some exhorbitant rate to the instructor... that's been tried and failed.
And there's really no need any longer since there is now a provision for
someone to recertify their experimental aircraft for transition
training. It does not have to be factory sponsored but I believe it's
restricted to transition training, i.e. no primary flight instruction.
The RV community has several instructors using their aircraft under this
provision.

Which brings me to yet another question. Can you really pay someone for
transition training anyway? I was under the impression that you
couldn't charge anyone for anything when flying an experimental since
they can't be used for hire.
It all seems like a real nice catch 22, doesn't it? Pondering...
Thanks for your insight :-)
Best regards,
Chris

I was just reading in my EAA magazine about one of the guys that makes a
living doing transition training in the RV - he flies about 700 hours a year
I think it said. (Sept. issue, Plane talk, page 118, by Lauran Paine).

A few of us were talking about this awhile ago. Not sure how they can sell
airplanes with no demonstrators at all, I know I would not have bought one
if I hadn't flown with Robin first. I guess just counting on others giving
rides in there airplanes.
Like someone said, sort of like going to a car dealership and all they have
is paper pamphlets for you to look at before you buy.
But then maybe they are working on a demonstrator that is from their own
guys, like someone said that one was built by the Gator folks.
