C185/180 rental

[27/09]

flying a tailwheel aeroplane doesn't require undue skill, simply good training to the appropriate standard of competence

Zac, I think you'll find many on here agree with this statement.

I still remember my first tailwheel endorsement, mainly because it was an anti climax. After hearing so many stories about flying a tailwheel aircraft I expected there was much more to it than there really was.

You would never even get to 'lean on my C180/C185'

I wouldn't ever need to 'lean' on your C180/185 champ, got a couple of t/w's to 'lean' on already.

ZK-JFG is a c180 based in Hamilton if that's of any help.

Anti climax ??

[[I still remember my first tailwheel endorsement, mainly because it was an anti climax. After hearing so many stories about flying a tailwheel aircraft I expected there was much more to it than there really was.]]

While I must agree there are some good tailwheel pilots in NZ, as thats where most of the surviving OZ machines went and are well looked after.

BUT,, an endorsement is just that, to make you safe to explore the envelope further, as you cannot ever be endorsed to cover for every situation you may encounter, and there are many.
I am one of the lucky few that has not 'bent' one in a few thousand hours in C185's,, the operative word is "lucky",, not just skill alone !

Thanks Cracker,,,,,

I remember my first tail-wheel endorsement, mainly because it led to my lifetime dislike of Austers!

Actually, most of the posts have been helpful, apart from your first one, which was idiotic to say the least...

Pray tell what was "idiotic" about my first post to this thread ?...

via NoseGear:
...Stupid comments coming from an at best ultralight or MSFS pilot are a bit rich...

Hmmm... so apparently ultralight or MSFS pilots are second rate in your opinion..

Good luck with yer aircraft hiring..

Seriously? It was idiotic and irrelevant enough for he mods to delete it. You judged my character and ability on a light hearted part of my profile...clear enough for you?

And if you'd like to apologise for your last, yet again irrelevant and idiotic post, go right ahead. Unless of course you need to ask? I'll save you the time shall I... Nowhere did I say ultralight pilots were second rate, thats you putting words in my mouth. Again, why are you even on this thread?

Thanks Kmjame, I'll get in touch with them mate.

Thanks prooners, Nosey

When the Department of Civilisation** issued single engine endorsements years ago, training in a 182 got you a C180/182/185 endorsement. That wasn't smart.

Good luck Nosey
