New Avid Magnum owner

[oddiedog 0]

Good day all!!

I am about to purchase an Avid Magnum and need some help. I need to find an Avid Magnum owner who is close to Sacramento, CA, Shreveport, LA., Knoxville, TN. My insurance carrier wants me to get a check out in an Avid Magnum by someone who has a good amount of time in one. I am certainly willing to pay for whatever time is gained. Can anybody help? I do have a tail wheel endorsement.

Chris B in Eastern WA is the only guy I know with much time in one.

For whatever reason, not too many Magnum builders/owners spend time on the forums I've visited. Maybe search the FAA registry for Magnums in those areas and try to contact them? Or, switch insurance carriers.

If you are unsure how to look on the FAA website, here is a link to the page you will start with.  JImChuk

I would sure think a Luscombe would be acceptable airplane too.
