Well I survived and so did the Champ. We did climb out and then went and did left and right turns, then did turns around a point and S turns.We also di some stalls power off, power on, cruise power.then it was time to try to land, well we did 3 point landings with slight quartering head wind, most of them were good ,but the last one i bounced alittle (forgot to hold back rudder).all in all i think i did wather well, Tom said i fly well,but sometime i forget to cordinate my turns when in the pattern. Guess i'll need him to hit me in the head or something.Other then that i had a BALL flying the Champ. Well i took pictures of the Champ but somehow deleted them from my phone .Next Lesson is Friday

Wait till you try hard surface... That is when the REAL fun starts.

I 2nd that, its a whole new ballgame. More than once when I was doing my tailwheel training I would 15-20 landings a lesson.

Good Luck Mike

Sounds very cool Dave! Landings must be a hoot. We expect photos . Just out of curosity what is the champ renting for? Can you rent it when your signed off or are you just getting the rating to make your self a better pilot in the Warrior? have fun.

That's a good rate, I paid $125.00 hrs wet with instructor in the Citbra. Its sad that shortly after my tailwheel endorsment the plane ended up crashing and my instructor and his student died.

And pavement with a good crosswind separates the men from the pilots!

Good on you! Bermudian is a great strip. It may get frustrating for you at some point, but persevere and you will be very happy once you master it. You're piloting skills will be greatly improved.

I agree about the strip Bill but i really dont like taking off over the trees that slow and low(lol).As far as my skills i agree there too, Thats one of the reasons i decided to get Twheel sign-off.
