Jeff makes good "points" and I agree with him. The other side of the coin is all types of airplanes are used for trainers. Lufthansa starts zero time pilots out in high performance Bonanzas, so everything is relative. But personally, I would not use an RV-10 for primary training, make it easier on yourself, and work up. Hope that helps.

I am a CFI and would have no issue training the owner in his RV-10. If that is the airplane you want to own and fly go for it but find a CFI to do the training before you buy.
Looks like minimal damage. If you like the plane, talk to the insurance company. Looks like a good airframe. With a tail wheel conversion and tundra tires, you too could land on the beach. 172 with a 180 hp Lic and constant speed prop is a nice conversion.
If you would rather, I have a C-175 with an O-470 that is available. Includes aft aux tank and auto gas STC.
