Tailwheel training in the South West

Hi all,

Have been advised that before attempting Pitts training I should invest in a tailwheel conversion, along with the training benefits I really quite fancy it anyway so I've decided to take the advice.

Does anyone know if there is any possibility of getting a tailwheel conversion done anywhere in the South West, since I'm having to travel up country for the Pitts i'd like to try and keep traveling to a min.

Cheers

Where in the south west? Last time I looked Ace Flight at Dunkeswell have access to a citabria and are very tailwheel current (they mainly use a Tiger Moth).
There is also a Chippy at Eaglescott.

Phil Matthews in a Super Cub at Cotswold Aero Club at Gloucestershire Airport, or for something very different, the Stampe or Waco at Tiger Airways...

If you are as far SW as Bodmin then give Howard Fawkes there a call. He will likely know what's available in the area.

I don't know either personally, but I believe that both Tiger Airways and Cotwold Aero Club at Staverton will do tailwheel training.
