cubs

I know of an instructor who owns his own Cub, and is taking on a fresh student next year, who is going to do all his training, start to finish, in the Cub, obviously not IF stuff...What a way to do it though, I wish I had the chance to train on a tailwheel machine from the beginning. It does open new doors one would say, but to whom? Most people have ambitions for the airlines, a tail rating won't be of much use. Personally, the reason why I got one, is down the track, the best aerobatic machines are all light tail draggers, do better to get a feel for it now now than struggle with it badly later...
