Looking for a Mooney Complex Instructor

[30X]

Hey everyone, I'm new here on the forum. Recently bought a Mooney M20E, and need to find a CFI to complete my complex rating. They must have a pretty decent amount of experience in a Mooney. I am located at KGAI Airport, Gaithersburg Maryland. My insurance requires that I have 10 hours dual time with an instructor and 10 takeoffs at landings. I've completed 4 hours and 4 takeoff and landings this past week with an instructor who helped me fly the plane home. 

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I found a great MAPA instructor to get me current after a long layoff from flying

@30X, an MSer or two is based in that area. Wonder if @Seth would be available? He may be based in Frederick, I don't recall.

It's too bad the instructor who helped you get it home couldn't have stayed an extra day to help you knock out the extra 6 hours, etc.

Yep, Lee is terrific.  He instructs as part of the MAPA Proficiency Training team. (Don Kaye is also on that esteemed list.)

Will Wobbe is another Virginia-based instructor and might be closer.  Also on that Mooney link I posted.

Sorry I'm late to the party! I did speak with CM and made some suggestions. 

I'm not a CFI. I want to be one day!
