tailwheel building time

Hello everyone. I am a guy from spain and I am interested in renting (build time) a tailwheel aircraft in the U.S.. If there is someone who can give me some information, I'll be very grateful.

Thank you.

Don't let the name scare you if you're not into aerobatics! I fly with them and can highly recommend them. They have 4 Supercubs and 3 Great Lakes. The supercubs work out around $90 per hour wet.

Even with the slipping Pound, $90 per hour for a Supercub is mindboggling to us Brits!

Me too! Good thing I only pay $50! One of the side benefits of my glider club.

I've heard about this place from a couple of work associates:

Skyhaven Airport 76N in Tunkhannock PA has auto fuel, campground with showers (call ahead), two mechanics on field, J-3 parts in stock, tailwheel training in a J-3 and a Stinson Gullwing for rides. Many antique and homebuilts on the field. You can land on the grass either side of the asphalt runway. Car available. Town 1 mile: Wal-Mart, grocery store, diner, Burger king, Subway, icecream, gas stations adjacent to airport. Susquehanna River access. Overnight hangar avialable. Email [email protected] or call 570-836-4800; ask for Steve or Barb Gay [Leigh Gay]

I'll have to ask my buddy Jim if they rent the Citabria solo or not.
