Yeah definitely, the information has been great! First lesson in the Decath was very interesting, it is indeed a different beast compared to a nose gear aeroplane! I think the biggest difference I have noticed is how much more complicated and smoother the touch and go sequence has to be. From touching on all 3 to stick aft straight away, and then nose up when powering up is indeed a very interesting prospect! Rudder control as well, dancing on the pedals is SO much more noticeable than what I would have thought, and I now understand just how unstable the aircraft can be! Bar the myriad of new techniques I have to learn, all I can say is the way of which a tail wheel is flown really does highlight the need for more stick and rudder flying than that of a tricycle. None the less, it is beautiful raw flying, and I cannot wait to have my next lesson!
