I have thousands of hours in tailwheel towing gliders. I stopped counting once the number of landings exceeded 10,000. Your instructor was excellent, really put things in simple terms. You did well.

Getting a chance to learn how to fly again is a gift :) The taildragger will make you a better pilot! Been flying taildraggers for 40 years absolutely loving it! Thanks for the vid!

nice instruction, he let you just fly since he knew you were a pilot. that's the type of instruction that's the best...putting some mild pressure on the student to do the right thing and to learn and not be spoon-fed like a baby. Excellent.

I like the pack of Lucky Strike on the glareshield for the full US soldier effect.

That was really good, well done. Great instructor too.

Ha ha the "oh my god" landing. Mine is yelling "sorry, sorry, sorry" during the round out

Loved it. Keeping us all flying. Thanks

This was exciting John, look forward to part two :)

Tremendous video love that those planes are still in use. Look forward to the next video, thank you for keeping our sprits up in these uncertain times. Stay Safe 👍👏

The production value of this piece is outstanding!

Awesome, Jon! That looked really tricky at first and some of it is so counter-intuitive to a nose wheel pilot. Great job!

Fantastic video this what a brilliant instructor he is one of the best I've ever seen, I know where I'll be going next summer 👍.

Wonderful, really looking forward to the rest of this series. Looked great flying with the door open!

Excellent! Well done. (I know this is an older film now but just catching up with your work).That looks a lot of fun and hard work! My son has just started his training at Redhill.....might treat myself to trip in a cub there one day!

Hi Flying Reporter, a brilliant video of you learning to fly the Piper Cub, well done! I am extremely interested in your tailwheel journey and I’m looking forward to seeing more content! Loads of detail in your videos and superbly filmed, a brilliant learning tool for any aspiring taildragger pilot!

Great to watch Jon. Good luck moving forward.. looks like you're gonna have this licked!! 👌👍

Great job Jon. Having shifted some of my flying to tail-wheel after 1000's of nose-wheel flying hours, you are 100% correct. You have started to learn once again. All great to do as we get younger!!

You should feel very proud and pleased Jon . I thought you did really well , and you are right , it is like learning to fly again . Looking forward to the next instalment . My best wishes .

Brilliant!!! Back to basics (well almost).....but if you had only ever learnt to fly a tail dragger you would find flying a conventional plane difficult at 1st until you master it so it's all relative. Nice flying.

Now that is real flying in a classic aeroplane,I found myself pressing the rudder pedals with you and enjoying the experience of flying a tail dragger,you have a great instructor there in one fun machine,thank you for the experience.
