Aerobatic/Tailwheel Endorsement
 

Anyone know or recommend where I could do a Aerobatic/Tailwheel Endorsement in Victoria or Melbourne area.

Looking for somewhere I could do it over a couple of days or a week

Thanks

David Pilkington does aerobatics training at both Lilydale and Moorabbin - also tail-wheel in the Decathlon.

Tailwheel and aerobatic flying. More fun than mud wrestling with 10 naked female (for clarification) supermodels.

I did my tailwheel rating a few months ago in a piper J-3 Cub. I think I have about 6 hours flying since the tailwheel endorsement and 5 of which have been in the cub. Very good fun!

:ok:Pyro

How much does it cost (approx)?

I'd recommend David Pilkington (above) or Lawrie Byrnes at MFS.

Talk to Gerrard Lappin at YLTV (not YTDN as I originally typed..).

Nice quiet airfield so you can fly tight circuits all day long without worrying about all the other a/c flying x/c circuits, aerobatics right over the field, excellent instructor, aeros pilot, and a perfectly decent decathlon. I went down there from MB and knocked the whole lot off in a weekend

Also knocking on half (not kidding) the price of doing it at MB. In my case 3hrs at about 170/hr. (that's for the tailwheel, I did aeros in the RVAC's alpha before then).

Dave Pilkington is the man for aeros, unfortunately the decathlons he uses are (or were) through oxford, and cost quite a premium. Personally I'd be inclined to do the tailwheel and basic aeros endorsement elsewhere, and go to Dave for coaching later if you require.

Ahem.. apologies, I meant latrobe, I thought latrobe, but for some reason I typed tooradin...
