took the plunge

After a lot of trepidation I finally took the plunge and started working on my tailwheel endorsement....

I did my first .8 in a Citabria 7gcbc last sunday. My first time in a tandem, my first time with a stick, and my first time to ever really need to use my feet.

A lot roomier than I expected. I'm having to learn what those things at the end of my feet are and to stay OFF the rudders. Short, small corrections are the name of the game. A stick in my right, throttle in my left, it feels natural... I think I'm going to be ruined for flying cessna's now...

I'm in love......

don't tell my wife... ;)
