Doug rules. You are very fortunate to have such a great Tailwheel and Multi CFI

The first thing I did after getting my PPL (flying 172s and PA28s) was go and get my tail wheel endorsement in a Citabria, and then do a basic aerobatics course. I learn SO much about aircraft handling on the ground, and in the air. 15 years later I regularly go and rent the Citabria for a bit of stick and rudder practice, and some tail wheel fun. I just love it!

@martinpauly

Good on you for doing that. I wish there was a Citabria or Decathlon for rent here at my home airport for an occasional fun flight and to stay proficient. - Martin

Hello Martin: Saw a link to your crosswind technique video today on Beechtalk and decided to check it out. Was rewarded with these two great videos you and Doug Rosendaal put together a few years back. They were a great refresher for flying my P35 Bonanza. And they took me back to my taildragger flying days too. Thank you! And what a great CFI Doug Rosendaal is. Very professional yet down to earth. By the way...I flew to Cedar Rapids a couple of years ago to fly with you as part of BPPP. I much appreciated your expertise and the pointers provided. Take care: Nick Wynen

I remember my old instructor saying to me when I bounced a landing "Don't sit there as a passanger, do something before we arrive at the seen of a crash". The norm with the Chipmunk was to apply power and rest ot go around, if you just left it, it got bad fairly fast.

My tailwheel check out was towing gliders, Did 5 take off's and landings and was towing solo. Love tailwheel aircraft. Have even 3 pointed a DC3 to the surprise of the PIC, did it before he even realized what I was doing. Softest landing in a 3 that I ever had.

Centerline is where the professionals live! Love it!

Really easy rule for ALL landings, esp. Xwind is; Maintain AILERONS PROPORTIONALY & OPPOSITE the needed rudder. NOTE that this is counter intuitive to recovering car from skidding turns. Car, we turn wheel INTO the skid. Plane the wheel or stick is opposite the swerve, and the adverse yaw created will assist the rudder with direction control. This works because rudder being vertical and small, easily stalls out as relative wind moves to the xwind component as plane slows. HOWEVER: AILERONS being 2 to 4 times the surface area of the wee rudder AND horizontal to the relative wind, continues to provide ADVERSE YAW to assist the rudder & tw stearing, even as plane slows to taxii speed.

Greatest video I've seen, the analytical aspect makes it come together

Danke fuer the videos on tailwheel training. I took my first hour of towards a tailwheel endorsement today and it was both fun and challenging. It definitely helps you develop skills between the art of flying and command of the airplane. Also, Mr. Rozendaal was the DPE for my private pilot certificate. I'll never forget that day. He was a great DPE.

Nice video. It's about time that someone mentioned that adverse yaw is a good thing. It's one of the most important things I teach for tailwheel endorsements, especially when your rudder effectiveness diminishes when lowering the tail after a wheel landing (or, like my Cessna 195 that is marginal in low speed rudder authority to begin with)

If 27 years of J-3 ownership has taught me anything it's that wind drift is corrected with aileron, and the aircraft is kept aligned with the runway center line with rudder. Period. Even if the two corrections leave you cross controlled, which is normal. Keep the stick coming back all the way through the flare, and never pump it forward if you bounce. Small bounce? Flare again and land. Big bounce? Add power and go around, or stabilize and land again. I never wheel land, because in a three point touchdown, the aircraft is finished flying and all you have to do is control the rollout. "Nail" the tail by applying full aft elevator (if you're not there already) when the tailwheel is on the ground. A CFI.

I did get my certification and flew 161 hours last year with lots of cross counties. Just came back to this video and it is still a great resource!

I started flying gliders at 14 years, moved to motor gliders and finally powered planes. My father had a tailwheel plane prior to me getting the PPL A license. I flew her a lot from the right seat, a lot of tail wheel TMG‘s too. When I did training for PPL I thought that my experience on gliders (and TMG’s of course) helped a lot to handle planes correctly quite fast. It even made landings with tricycle gear planes more easy, get them down more smoothly and gentle. It also helped me keeping an extra eye on speed, touching down just at the right velocity. Fun fact: as my home airfield was a bit of a bumpy grass strip, take off‘s and landings with one certain kind of motor glider could result into several jumps. It was essential to have the right speed. Great training for sure. Your video is a very good compilation how to fly tail wheelers, you did very well. Doug is a great instructor, both in theoretical and practical teaching. He made it very easy to understand the different aspects and different procedures when flying tail wheel airplanes. Thank you for posting this great content!

Hey Martin. Great work with Doug. I currently teach tail wheel but was looking around to see how others do it and I appreciate you showing us your training. Doug had a lot to offer and you had obviously got some preparation in beforehand (as any good student should). Great stuff.

Great video, Martin, thanks for showing us your experience. I did my 3rd tail wheel training flight today in an RV8. I have a hard time not rounding out too high, as well as with the gyroscopic precession as the tail lowers on the roll out, but every flight is better!

Thats great! I didnt quite get my TW rating, I had abou 9.5 hrs with a great CFI at an "away field". He had a Piper J5-A which is a tandem plane as well, but can be solo'd from the front. It had a C-75 engine do it had an electrical system, starter, radio, transponder. It had the bungee landing gear so it kind of made a racket landing. I was doing okay but, work, weather, etc., kind of hampered me. Its great fun tho!

....reliving my tailwheel training. Good reminders and a few new pointers. I never held aileron to take advantage of adverse yaw in a crosswind, but always did as needed to keep the upwind wing from being lifted. The ailerons are doing double duty for me without my thinking about that aspect.

I like the engine sound - sounds like a Ferguson TEA : )
