I am interested in flying in an Eagle to get a feel for capability and performance. More than happy to cover fuel and maybe lunch.

Based in San Diego, but can travel throughout SoCal - I am at MHV every other week.

My current acro and tailwheel time are in a friend's Extra 300L.

I am looking for a plane I might be able to afford to buy and feed, and the Eagle and Pitts S-2A/S-2B keep coming up along with the Skybolt (interested in flying the S-2 and Skybolt as well).

My interests are competing in IAC contests (Sportsman for now, but Intermediate and Advanced as I progress), but also some weekend fun/travel flying.

I am 6' 2", about 190 lbs, and am a below-knee amputee - about 370 TT, COMM-ASEL/IFR rated and current. Front hole is fine for flying but would like to at least try on the back pit and see how I fit.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
