Tail wheel and Aeros Ottawa
HI Prunes
I am intending on being in Ottawa for a couple of weeks shortly and was looking for some tail wheel and aerobatic instruction preferably in a Decathlon. I have been in contact with Rockcliffe Flying School and they seem quite interesting and may have all I need.
Has anybody any suggestions as other possibilities in the Ottawa region that I might look at. I have googled and also searched this site but Rockcliffe are the only ones to reply so far.
Cheers

I highly recommend Rockcliffe. There are some great people there, and the environment is what you expect from a classic, friendly Flying Club.
Other places include Ottawa Aviation Services - they have a Grob for aeros (obviously not a tailwheel) - they are not as friendly to "plain old" renters as Rockcliffe is. I believe Gatineau also has a Grob but not sure if it's on that flight school's operating certificate yet... when I chatted with the owner a couple of months ago he was still "working on it."
Go fly at Rockcliffe!

CYOW tailwheel etc
I would also give Lachute Aviation a call. They'll have insight into Gatineau, Pendleton and Lachute re: tailwheel and aerobatic stuff. Lachute is about an hour east of Ottawa on the Quebec side. There is also fairly vibrant scene west of Ottawa in Carp and Arnprior.
