Flying for the fun of it. Early morning. At the moment, just the Cherokee but soon to do a taildragger endorsement - the fun stuff!

None of this 'flying to a deadline' stuff for me. None of this 'I can't see out the window so I'll have to look at the instruments' stuff either!

I agree with Kev. No need to wait till you have your PPL to fly tigers kev, get up to Cambridge Flying Group if you can put up with the journey and you can learn on them from scratch, I did.

Turbs are fantastic by the way.

Much as I'd love it, a tad too expensive, TM! I could do that at Headcorn if I wanted, but at £150/hr. + instructor. No, I'll be learning tailwheel on the Jodel 150.
Some interesting replies here

Hi Kev,

I don't think you can actually learn at Headcorn, it's only for when you have a PPL, and it's £130 including instructor.
Cambridge I believe, is slightly cheaper, maybe £128 dual and £115 solo or thereabouts.
Worth considering.

I'm sort of partial to flying these things.

Bimbling through sunny skies in a 60-year old taildragger going to a nice airfield (preferably grass) for a cuppa is my idea of fun.
