Tailwheel Time

[urflyingme?!]

no way jose!
1400 /hr for a dc3 type

In the interest of actually getting out of debt, in my life, the dc-3 will have to wait!

I'd probably go get checked out in a Super Decathalon and then go out solo and twist the heck out of that thing. You'd be real good by the end of 40 hours.

Well, I am to surfing what a student pilot is to aviation--not proficient, but that will soon change. I decided to fly the surf-related avatar to keep myself from wussin' out... well, that and I promised Daveman.

Get the job than build the tailwheel time.

Don't know what banner company you're talking with, but when I was hired by http://www.aerialsign.com/ to fly banners I didn't have any tailwheel time before starting their banner training course and was hired after finishing the course, had something like 10 hours tailwheel time.

Where are you located? I do tailwheel training in my Aeronca Champ, $78 hr. dual, wet in South Carolina. I could work out a block rate for you, but I can't imagine you needing 40 hours? They should be able to get you going with less than that.

I'm in New Mex now, but will be in CA soon. It was a very preliminary statement, about the 40 hrs. I have resume in, and I'll be giving them a follow up call soon here, we'll see how it goes...
(ps, that sounds like a great rate, howver a bit far )
