I had some dual (front seat) training in an S2B recently in preparation for the possibility of some S1 flying. I have a little over 150 hrs of tailwheel time mostly in a much lower performance but aerobatic biplane. The view was not as bad/limited as I had feared, but the steepness and speed of the approach was at first daunting. The speeds we used were bang on what `stik` suggested in his earlier post. Once the instructor had got me to pick a sensible point at which to start descending (closer than I thought!) and to start the descent at the correct speed it all came togther. I thought the `B` was less tail happy on the ground than the `A` in which I have a small amount of time - but this might just be because I have more general tailwheel time now than when I was in the `A`, also being in the front probably gives a different impression of what is happening at the back! I know all the S1`s are consideably more lively on the ground. As well as circuit work PFL`s etc there was also time for some gentle aeros and some spinning. What a lovely aeroplane, poweful light well harmonised controlls with feel and feedback through ones hands and feet. I loved it!
