Great to see more tail wheel training being offered. It is becoming harder to find training in conventional aircraft. I do a little by word of mouth but do not have a lot of spare time. Getting ready to move to a grass strip here in Ohio. Maybe I can do more...... Good for you!!

Thanks for the encouragement Jim. Not getting to do enough contract corporate flying and so I dusted off the old tailwheel part of the brain. Students so far have ranged from age 30 to 80. I think the 80 year old has waited too late, but I did successfully check out a 68 year old in his 1948 "LSA" Piper PA-15 Vagabond! Not the easiest, for sure.
