Thanks for the advice, Mr Purple. Unfortuately, a childhood spent doing just as you suggest (Whilst watching Blue Peter) ill-prepared me for the realities of flying a Supercub: Although, as one would expect, left turns are initiated with left rudder, and right turns with the right, both left and right turns need balancing with right rudder. Bizarre, but true.
I'm thinking of taking a vengeful contract out on the descendants of Messiers Piper and Taylor.
Right! I promised some feedback on this weekend's activities, so here we go: Great improvement overall: Ball seems to be at least within an half inch of the centre; Overall flying safe as houses; Landings are reasonably together; A couple of hours of solo time. All that plus a CofE entry on my licence. Blow me, I seem to be a tailwheel pilot again. Phew.
However, I've finally twigged that learning to elegantly fly an older tailwheeler, like the SuperCub, is going to take yonks and yonks. Fair enough, more excuses to fly.
Stay safe.
