Going back to my first post here I found this comment on another forum about this school selling it's Super Cub.
The comments about a lack of tailwheel instructors rings true. At the time they had 27 instructors on the roster and only 3 of them would instruct on the Super Cub. The rest referred to it as the "kite." The 3 anointed ones were more experienced and I had some difficulty booking instructor time because of their other duties. Once I finished the checkout, I went back to my gliding club and that's when the real education began - towing gliders.
Why would they refer to it as " The Kite " ?
