There seems to be a definite lack.... anyone have any suggestions at all for some tailwheel dual I can get?


I'd love to get started TODAY... it's dead calm and beautiful.

Hi Ian,
Eaa Chapter 690 in Lawrenceville should be able to help you out. They have a very active EAA group and meet on the first Saturday of the month for breakfast and a speaker at 10:00a.m. The clubhouse is on the airport.

Regards,

I have used Kent at Mallard landing also, very good. He has a side by side taildragger RV that can be used for transition training.

I also got some tailwheel time up at Habersham airport

Ian,
I would recommend Doug Ripley @ RipleyAir.com. I trained w/ Doug for my tailwheel transition....he is an excellent instructor and also operates a build assist business. He operates out of Air Acres fly-in community in N. Atl., the guys at Chapter 690 also know him and could fill in any details.

Good Luck,
Glenn
