I think I was inspired by my recent trip to Sun n Fun to go ahead and get my tailwheel endorsement now. There is a small window in Florida between winter and hot as hell, that time is now. After searching around online I came across Barnstorm Aviation, after one flight I know I made the right decision. First off, I am flying a super Decathlon, second….I’ve got a great instructor! After 1.2 hours in the Super D, I am in love. What a plane. It is such a treat to fly a plane with good performance and good roll rates after my normal diet of cessnas and pipers.
I don’t think I realized how different tailwheel flying really is. I now know why its “stick and rudder”, you’ve got to be on the ball. I know I’ll be a better pilot when I’m done.
