Northants School of Flying did a good job of my tailwheel conversion, but my ultimate aim was to fly something with same performance characteristics as their Super Cub. But they also have a Pitts S-2 that you can go on to do aeros in. Others on PPRuNe have spoken highly of their aeros training. . .. .If you ultimate aim is aeros, then the Decathlon is a great idea. A couple of people in my syndicate did their tailwheel training on the Decathlon at Tatenhill before 'down-grading' to our taildragger. Their only comments were that learning to land on Tatenhill's concrete was hard (but meant that in the future, landings on grass were a cinch <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> ), and the instructor has very high standards! So the Decathlon is obviously suitable for learning on.. .. .Let us know what you decide. . .. .tacpot. . . . <small>[ 13 March 2002, 00:05: Message edited by: tacpot ]</small>
