Congratulations Jack,When you get the CFI, I would like to be your student, for the taildragger endorsement, especially if it would be in your Piet. Is that legal?Don Lane________________________________________________________________________________

Yep. Transition training is legal in Experimental aircraft. Primaryinstruction is not (at least, that's my understanding). That's my primarypurpose in getting the CFI - tailwheel endorsements and transition training.I might have to add brakes in the front seat of my Piet if I'm going to useit for transition training.Jack PhillipsNX899JP _____

Why not become a Sport-Pilot CFI (CFI-SP) - at least as a start? Don't even need the commercial license or an instrument rating. The Piet fits (or at least should fit) the LSA category also.Only need 150 hours of flight time (with some sub category times) plus the normal CFI tests and sign-offs. Check out FAR 61.4xx. The ability to teach tailwheel needs nothing more than the endorsement you already have and the CFI-SP.I think this is all accurate, but could be wrongCheersKirkOn Aug 27, 2008, at 8:26 PM, Jack Phillips wrote:> Yep.
