A very good pilot. The commentator has a familiar voice, if I'm correct initials NR. In fact I do believe you get a glimpse of him near the end.

I also remember Phil's dead stick aeros routine. Bryan Cox used to do a similar one as well many may years ago.

Anyway back to the original question.

In reality how much extra flying should it take to knock off the tailwheel side if things. Assuming the aeros part takes about 6 hours or so you will have likely done 8 to 10 take offs/landings. Another hour or so should just about do it. A very worthwhile thing to have tucked away.
