after 6.1 hours, 32 landings...

It seems that my dance partner has now decided that I'm salvageable as a partner. With great patience she will undertake to teach me for quite a long time. Be wary of vixens with fabric wings my trike driving friends. Once she takes you in, you may never want to leave.

A tailwheel endorsement in my logbook is done.

Another world of aviation is open now to me, cubs and t-crafts, citabrias and decathlons, flybabys and champs, L-birds and so much much more. Golden age aviation at its best.

3.9 more hours and insurance will allow me to fly her solo.

I can't wait!

How're wheel landings going? :> Those gave me a little trouble when I was learning. The first one I ever attempted was great.. the next four sucked.. then beautiful beautiful three times in a row. :>

Don't the citabrias slip nicely? :> I usually make a really nice tight pattern and slip all the way down final (Well, not quite all the way, but..)
