Vans aircraft does have an RV tailwheel that they give instruction in. It's up here in Oregon. I checked a few years back with an EAA flight advisor which is how I found out about it. Also... in Phoenix, AZ Chandler air service offers tailwheel instruction year round in two beautiful Piper Cubs, and a Aviat Husky (constant speed prop). They are a part 141 school, and also teach aerobatics. You could arrange to take a week off from work this winter and get some SUN and your endorsement at the same time. Another great place for tailwheel instruction is in Nampa ID, where they have a couple of Aeronca Champs. I don't know if that place still has them, but it is cheaper. That's where I got my tailwheel endorsement a few years back. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Heath" <da...@alltel.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 19:00:55 -0400 (Eastern Standard Time) To: <kr...@mylist.net> Subject: Re: KR>tailwheel training > Is there really such a thing as a "tailwheel" endorsement.
