Default Tailwheel

Anyone looking to get their Tailwheel endorsement? I happen to know of someone who is qualified for giving the training and can check you out at CKN in the Champ at the same time especially now that the days are getting longer.......






/end shameless plug

price? its kinda silly really... im flying the DECA for the aerobatic team but my instructor doesnt seem inclined to give me a tailwheel endorsement...

anyway, hmm... would have to find a way (on the ground) over to CKN... have some administrative issues that preclude me from driving a car there...funny story really....ha!

PM me. i'd like to get that endorsement/instruction.

yeah, but unless you are doing A LOT of TO/Landings your instructor probably won't sign you off.

precisely, and i think thats the only issue really. we are more "misson oriented" and the t/o and landing is only secondary.

price sounds good. pm me to work out the details. appx how many hours does your "average" student require?
