Learning to fly a tailwheel-equipped airplane is a bit like learning to drive a car with a manual transmission. It can seem challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun and gives you the skills to operate some fancy machinery. And Sporty’s Pilot Shop is making it easier to tame the tailwheel with a new course, “Tailwheel Training.”
The course’s teacher is Patty Wagstaff (yes, that Patty Wagstaff), who in addition to being one of most skilled aerobatic pilots in the world, also has decades of experience flying as a bush pilot in Africa and Alaska.
