Of all the discussions about flying the tail wheel flying discussions are the most interesting to me.

I have a slightly different method of teaching people on tail wheel airplanes.

For one thing they learn to handle the airplane on the ground before I take them flying.

That is done mainly with the tail in the air down the runway and using as much runway as is available...over and over until they can control the airplane competently on the ground.

The wheel landing and three point landings are equally important as far as teaching and using same.
