this plane is just as safe as any other that I've flown in, but it does require more skill than your typical training plane such as a cessna 152, but its also faster and more responsive.

I've still not flown an experimental plane. I certainly feel more comfortable in a Cessna or Piper, because they have a seriously successful track record. I'll fly in an experimental at some point.. but I can understand the concerns instructors might have about flying a new students experimental ;)
the king, you could always train in a cessna first.. Then have an instructor help you transition into the experimental. I'm sure they'd be more likely to do that then start from scratch in an experimental.
