Aerobatics?

Can you also get your tailwheel endorsement at the same time in this course? I guess another question is, do you get to taxi or at least takeoff the decathalons? I can understand the instructors not letting you land, but what about the rest?

I will be taking this before I graduate, hopefully before the CFI course. I cant wait to see how sick I get.

About the sick part, I am pretty good with motion sickness but when I was taken up in the Decathlon for a demo flight I got sick. But I threw up when I got back on the ground, thank god. I loved it though, doing hammerheads were sweet.

Depends on your instructor

When I went to the UND Aerospace Camp this summer we got to fly the Decathalon. And although I didn't take an actual course, I would definately recommend it to anyone that has the chance to. Even though it was a quick demo sort of flight I learned a whole lot about what an airplane can do. I also really appreciated the spins, sort of helped me understand how quick you can mess up. Enjoy!
