Default Tail dragger training
It looks like I may be purchasing a tail dragger in a few months. Is there anyone in the southeast that provides both tail dragger and RV experience?

Jan Bussel
http://www.rv6flyjan.com

Jan has an RV6 & 6A.
Plenty of others can chime in as well.
He prepped me for my first flight.
Highly recommended.

Matt,

Check out Acro Dynamics. They are located at Lake Norman Air Park (14A), just north of Charlotte.

Once you master the Decathlon, you can try out their Pitts. I would go that route and then get some RV time.

I second Jan Bussel. He did a wonderful job prepping me to fly my RV7. Jan's training syllabus includes "the impossible turn." He's the kind of flight instructor I've always wanted to be.

I flew with Jan as well. I was trying to get my TW endorsement in a Cub in NJ and just couldn't get the guy's time. So I flew with Jan for about 3 days and got my endorsement and my transition time all at once. Really nice guy.
