You are exactly why I intend to give some rides. Most of us give absolute preference to people that are almost finished with their planes. I believe I have committed to three different people that are ready to fly for rides and I will be happy to take you through the sequence of fast taxi, flying and approach to landing.

If there is anyone going to the gathering that is an instructor and will have a TW plane, KR or otherwise, and is willing to give me some training please contact me directly at eng...@earthlink.net. I am very close to getting the endorsement here, but my instructor just left for a month long cross country to Venezuela and TW instruction is not easy to find here. I would also be greatful to anyone willing to give me some tailwheel up taxi runs in their KR. I am not quite ready to get my tailwheel up on my plane until I get some more training from someone who knows what they are doing. Also, someone told me that you don't need a tailwheel endorsement for an experimental. FAR 61.31 (i) seems pretty specific to me about requiring the endorsement, not to mention that lawyers will jump on not having it in an accident weather it is required or not. I think it is required. Anyone know different? _______________________________________________ see KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html
