Tailwheel Instructor near SoCal

[kritisingh]

Hey guys

So I have booked Reuven for transition training for this weekend, but I'm also looking for some tailwheel training time in general near Torrance/LA. Does anyone know of an instructor who could spend some time giving some basic ground lessons or flying time before Friday this week?

Thank you

Unsure of the connection to SoCal, but if you are looking for some FBO tailwheel transition training closer to Concord in NorCal, I would heartily recommend two outfits- first is Aerodynamic Aviation in San Jose at Reid Hillview airport. The other is Attitude Aviation in Livermore. Both have plenty of tailwheel savvy instructors and aircraft and also do aerobatic instruction, although I think the main thing for him to focus on will be takeoffs and landings and keeping things straight.
Good luck!
Tim
