Was it a lot of fun towing gliders?Haha that's awesome. I feel bad for pilots that learned with the training wheel on the nose like @amorris311

In what? Where?I got my tailwheel endorsement yesterday!
At KTTA in a Cessna 170B that's 1 year younger than me . 2 sessions, 6.2 hours, 39 landings and a few gallons of sweat! You guys who fly these all the time have my greatest respect.In what? Where?

Well, there was about 0.5 of that that involved flying somewhere for lunch. Had to replenish the sweat reserves6.2 hours in 2 sessions w/39 landings? Shew! ...you have my greatest respect.

A bike that is always trying to swap ends and tip sideways.After about 1,000 landings, it is like riding a bike.
Using the rudders has an amazing effectA bike that is always trying to swap ends and tip sideways.
If you don't know how to move your feet, either a tailwheel airplane or a seaplane will teach you in a hurry.Using the rudders has an amazing effect

Thank you. That's very helpful.After about 1,000 landings, it is like riding a bike.
At our glider port we've had 4 of our L-19 tow planes wrecked by 'sky gods' who thought they knew how to fly. Not one of them offered to pay for any of the damage they caused because it was, of course, "the airplane's fault."
That's what makes it so fun, still,...after thousands of landings.A bike that is always trying to swap ends and tip sideways.
