Line Up and Wait
I have started tail wheel training over the weekend. I am flying a Fairchild PT19. This will be my second try, our CFI disappeared after a couple flights for bigger and better jobs.
I learned a lot. I think the old CFI was using kiddie gloves on me, doing a lot more in the back seat then I knew and he was telling me. I was very surprised when the tail came up the the plane made a left turn in a matter of a half second. After the flight my new CFI and I talked about it, I told him that never happened to me before, he said it did, it does it every time without the rudder input. I think I like my new CFI, he lets me experience these things the first time then talks me through it the next time.
Here is the 19 in flight
