337 for a brand new Pilot?

[Red Air Rambo]

Hey Jon, I would recommend some 172, then some 182, then a little 210 time before the 337. Not ownership, just checkouts plus a little time to get used to the weight differences. My cert is centerline thrust because I was a military pilot, but I'm not sure they give those anymore. I would just get a regular multi checkout then a 337 checkout. A visit to John up at RTC in Champaign, Illinois would be my final stop and probably be required for insurance. He has the only 337 sim I know of and also is a long term owner of both the P and regular 337.
