Thanks Tom. Yeah...I think I'm close to flying myself
without any instruction. I might take an hour or so
of dual in a Citabria just to bone up on my
taildragger skills and also work on getting that tail
down immediately. It seems like you pretty much have
to stall the Europa into a landing so as to get that
tailwheel down, not balloon, and of course not
unicycle (can you spell groundloop) the plane.
I'm in Las Vegas next weekend for a wedding...perhaps
the following weekend I can go...
thanks again for chatting with me about this
