RE: Instructor Needed
Flyeboy,
If you can't find anyone, get yourself an FMA Direct Co-Pilot.
I cannot think of a better tool for trying nose-in the first time. It really works excellent. Best $100 I ever spent in this hobby.

RE: Instructor Needed
Maybe you can send one of these guy's an email and see if they are willing to give you a hand. I'm sure one of them will help.

RE: Instructor Needed
I too learned nose in on a sim. I use FMS which is free and realistic enough for that sort of thing (just wish it could auto!). I practiced enough so that on my 3rd attempt on the real thing, I was hovering a couple feet off the ground (instead of 30 feet as on the first try) and was comfortable enough to bring it all the way down for a very soft landing.
Not trying to downplay the importance of an instructor, but sims can be extremely helpful.
