I tried that and the CFI I was given did not want anything to do with sport
pilots at all...NONE ZILCH NADA! HAHAHAHA I was amazed to find an EAA guy
so against the sport pilot rules.

After 15 hours of instruction I got a new job and moved to the next
State. I had no contacts in the city, but I knew where I could find
knowledgeable local pilots: the local EAA chapter.

I found their website, called the membership contact, and was heartily
welcomed to a meeting. There I met a group of wonderful people who
gave me a wealth of information of the local aviation scene, and I was
ultimately directed to a great instructor.

My advice for those seeking a great CFI is to join your local EAA
chapter and tap into that knowledge base.
