This is such a helpful video! Thank you for making it free. Starting working on my tailwheel endorsement in a few days and this is so helpful. I hope I do as well as Jill did!
Love this, Damian. I do a bit of teaching in a Pacer. You're comment on wheel landings re: "When the tail is done, the wings are done" is a great way to reinforce the appropriate time to bring/allow the tail wheel to touch. Three reasons to retract flaps on the three pointers in a cross wind is a golden nugget as well.
I enjoyed the video. Excellent description of wheel landing techniques. I was surprised you didn’t move to the pavement at the end. A small amount of drift at touchdown is forgiven by the grass but can get exciting on the asphalt.
Good info. Fly a Champ and to be honest never really thought I had much use for wheel landing ( except to look cool ) but considering the gusty head wind scenario you mention is worth keeping in mind. Thought she did a great job if those were first Tailwheel landings.
5 to 10 hours of in-flight instruction. lots of TO & landings. Prior to that, you need 5 to 10 hours of "shore school" (such as this video and others) and instructor shore-school prior to the 5-10 IFI

Nice video, thanks!
This is brilliant
Well done
How long does it take to learn all this!
5 to 10 hours of in-flight instruction. lots of TO & landings. Prior to that, you need 5 to 10 hours of "shore school" (such as this video and others) and instructor shore-school prior to the 5-10 IFI
Will Tailwheel 201 be published here too soon?
We will, but I don't have a date yet. There are still DVDs being sold for this in stores, so we don't want to pull the rug out from under them.
It’s here!
Jill nailed the pop-quiz... I think I would have choked, not easy to remember all that stuff.
Hhhjhg
Well said
