I flew a C-170 today working on my tailwheel endorsement. I knew they were touchy but I had no idea it would be so freakin' squirrly! I flew for 3.5 hours and just started getting the hang of x-wind (real x wind today) wheel landings on a 40' wide strip. That stuffs dangerous!!! It's the 1st time I've sat in the left seat in almost a year and really the first flying I've done in months (other than sitting in the right seat with folded arms CFIing) The instructor said I did well and that I may be able to get signed off tommorow.
GO ME!!
If any of you folks have the opportunity to try tail wheel flying - Take it. I'd say it was the most humbleing experience I've had so far in aviation. I can't believe it was so common back in the old days.
I'm going to bed early tonight. I flew for 3.5 hours in that mess on 4 hours of sleep!
