Broomstick - I heartily agree with your views on taildragger training. I teach in Cubs and certainly consider my job unfinished if I haven't taught all methods of approach and landing - to the stage that the student can 'mix and match' for any conditions. The three other instructors at the school do the same - only wish everyone else did...
Irish - don't intend to advertise the school here (it is mentioned in this thread) but if you're still looking, PM me.

the Cub, but alas its on floats and PPL training has to take place from a licenced aerodrome (i.e. not the lake in front of the house)

Think she falls under the "common law" definition of wife at this stage rather than the fully signed up type. No point in me being "Hangared" at 28 years of age.... Higher offers from "night flying" females need to be 8's or better these days! See how she gets on with Derek D in Bournemouth in two weeks time. No good being able to land on one float if she cant do the paperwork.
Multiple guess indeed.

The Tiger Club has to be the best... get to fly a variety of aeroplanes during training from the airfield which I reckon has the best atmosphere... great crowd too and find yourself surrounded by lots of real experience.

Dear Irish, here is a message for your lady!
Yes, by all means learn this side of the ocean the basic joy of the PA18; but then insist your man book you in to Jack Brown's Seaplane base in Florida, not far from Orlando. I did my rating there, in J3's on floats, and it makes a wonderful holiday altogether. Just watch out for alligators. . . . they have the right of way!
