    Allen - Thanks for the quick response and really good suggestion.  I should have mentioned that I did contact Paul Leaderbrand earlier this week, and he is booked out until at least after Thanksgiving.  Further mentioned that things become weather dependent that late in the year and we will have to see what the weather brings.

    Magnum transition training
    I'm new to this site, and this is my first post, but I'm quite pleased to report that I'm in the process of buying a Magnum.  I have come to agreement on price with the owner and am getting the pre-purchase inspection scheduled.
    I have been shopping around for insurance and have what I feel is a good quote given the fact that I need to get my tailwheel endorsement and I have no time in type.  The challenge is that I need to find an instructor to do the transition training who has time in make and model in order to be approved by the insurance carrier.  Does anyone know of an instructor (in Oregon ideally, but really anywhere in the west could be okay) who has Magnum time?  The insurance broker said that the time in make and model for the CFI can be negotiated, so while time in a Magnum would be best it sounds like time in other Avid or Kitfox models might suffice.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    I'm about 4 months late, but congrats on the purchase!  Your post caught my eye with the S. Oregon in the title.  I was born in Medford and lived in Klamath until 2012 (I'm in Salt Lake now).  Klamath is a great base from which to fly.
    I want to be in your shoes, and am actively looking at an Avid Magnum that's for sale in the northern part of Oregon. 
    Cheers,
    Jamie
