It WILL be fun! This is the 2200ft strip where I did most of my tailwheel training.
Shipoke said: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

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.jangell said:Wait till you try hard surface... That is when the REAL fun starts.
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.Shipoke said:Well Adam it's $90 an hour Dual.not sure if he renys in after signoff. Yes want to be a better pilot and thinking about a Christen Eagle

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.flybill7 said: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.
