Taildraggin' In Dorset

[Pudnucker]

Team,

I've just notched up my 200th hour in my trusty Archer and want to expand my horizons a bit. I want to do my taildragger rating but am finding it a bit difficult to get the right a/c to learn in:ugh:. The instructor I know who can teach me is an approved CAA examiner and well known (credentials can be given later).

I'm looking to rent a sensible machine to learn on, based in Dorset or close by. 90HP +, cub, citabria or similar would be great.

Can anyone help me? (PM if you can) :)

Cheers - James

Have a look at the other Forum (http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=41128) an interesting day tail-dragging. If my geography is up to scratch they would be north-west of you.

Maybe worth getting in touch anyway.. Something that I have on my wish list as well.

Doesn't fly a Tiger Moth as well does he?

Got a share in a Condor going at Compton Abbas. It might even be the same instructor who would check you out. It's the Condor which featured in the Feb Pilot. pm me if your interested.

Old Sarum, which isn't far, have a tailwheel C152 (pretty unusual...)

I also heard about the Tiger at Compton....is that run through Abbas Air or is it private?

Would be rather interested in that myself...

There's a taildragger C150 at EGHH for hire, PM me for details, owner not on the internet.

Thanks guys. Yep I think we're talking about the same guy here. Know the Condor (and Peter) so will have a chat up at Compton Abbas.

I may have a shout on a super cub which may work out well.

Yankee - will PM you

Cheers!:ok:
