Actually...

RNHF, you are wrong on this!

Before I even seriously considered buying a tailwheel aircraft, I completed a tailwheel conversion course at Clacton Airfield, where I learnt the principles of three-pointers. Before taking-off for my first flight I had a few different briefs from friends and instructors (some of which was conflicting!)

If I had known more about the LAA Coaching Scheme back then, I probably would have at least spoken to a coach over the telephone; but that's by the bye, now.

Armed with knowledge and some skill, the only way I'm going to improve my landings is to keep flying and hone my skills to keep them sharp; but the biggest difference now is that when pilot's tell me advice, I 'listen' to it more than just 'hear' it!
