Of course the FBO talked him out of it.
They did not want to give up the revenue of renting their aircraft.
You need to find a CFI who is not affiliated with an FBO.
That way there is no conflict of interest.
Try NAFI through the EAA to find a CFI in your area.
EAA should be promoting just this sort of activity to ensure that both pilots
and CFI's alike are well versed in all sorts of experimental aircraft.

Not so far, Jim. One young instructor was inclined (I think simply to get to fly in an RV), but I think the FB0 talked him out of it.
Perhaps next time!

Ed,
Why not get your BFR in your airplane?
It seems sort of silly to have to rent a factory aircraft to get a BFR
when the rest of the time you will be flying a much higher performance
aircraft.
Surely there is a CFI in your area that can accommodate you.

Every two years I have to fly behind a reciprocating engine for my BFR and
it takes me a while to stop thinking about those pistons and connecting rods
trying to tear themselves apart and concentrate on the refresher training.
