I would think the thing to do, if you are honestly committed to getting your license,would be to find the best available combination of LSA instruction availability/proximity/priceand just finish the license. You could try to find thiscombination in concert with primary training in a taildragger, but dependingon where you live this could be a very limiting factor. If you can find someoneto do it in a taildragger, great. However, I am of the opinion that it wouldbe better to just find available, quality instruction that will give you thebest chance of success in getting your license than holding out to find a taildraggerthat may be significantly more expensive, less available, farther away,etc. Set yourself up for success.....but that's just me. :PRyanOn Jun 8, 2010, at 6:41 PM, "Kringle" wrote:> > Wouldn't it be wise to get my sport pilot training in a pietenpol if that iswhat I intend on flying?

It would be a fair drive from Russia, but check out ohiolightsport.com inCenterburg, Ohio. Bill See does sport pilot training in an Aeronca Champand he might be willing to do training in your Piet. You could always godown for several days at a time and stay in his bunkhouse. He is also oneof the cheapest in the country at $65 an hour for the Champ and him. Just my 2 cents.Jason-----Original Message-----

You are right John. Red Stewart field Waynesville OH is a really neat place. IfI lived anywhere near south west Ohio it would be my choice for a place to learnto fly. I was talking to an instructor there who told me he went to Ohio University(they have one of those airline pilot programs) and got all his pilotlicenses, than went to Stewart and learned to fly.http://www.stewartsaircraft.net/Skip----- Original Message -----

Hi Skip,When I was living in Indy, I had several friends who would go there to fly Cubs. I have never been there but it sounds like a neat place.

Most things about flyingare the same and when you have the basics well ingrained in your brain you willfind it easier to concentrate on the differences that each airplane presents.I have checked out in at least 4 different tail wheel airplanes from Maulto Aeronca and probably twice that many tri-gear including complex, high performanceand retractable. Each new airplane becomes a little easier and each newairplane that I have flown has made me a better pilot. Once you get your license you will probably find a lot of recreational pilots thatwill take you along and let you fly just to show off their airplane.
