Tail wheel training

logie101 · 2010-04-23 20:56:19

Hi Guys, Looking for advice on where best to get some tail wheel training. Nearing the end of my PPL (at long last) and wanting to start flying "real" aircraft... Hence the desire to learn to fly a tail dragger. Willing to travel anywhere in Ireland or UK to train. Any advice/words of wisdom would be appreciated. thanks.

The NFC offer taildragger training on the Piper Super Cub according to their website. The Cub is a good aircraft to start with. http://www.nfc.ie/content.aspx?id=71&subid=98&pageid=19

Hi there,
Weston is too crowded and too fussy and too busy.Kilkenny is ideal and Peter Tawse is a gentleman and a fine pilot/instructor.
