Flying tailwheel

IMG_6380.JPG

I’m convinced flying planes with the little wheel in the back is the best kind of flying! Some might say tailwheel pilots are better pilots, there’s numerous articles and videos about how and why tailwheel pilots have great stick and rudder skills, but I’m not sure that makes tricycle pilots inferior. For me, it’s just more fun!

My adventures learning to fly and teach tailwheel are some of my favorite memories. If you’re beginning your tailwheel journey or hope to soon I wanted to give you some resources I’ve found incredibly useful in my journey to here. I recommend starting with these articles, books and videos — they have been essential!


Start with these books.


This four part series from author Steve Krog is unparalleled.



Last, I’ll leave you with a few tailwheel lesson videos from amazing teachers and some inspiring stories….
