This is such a helpful video! Thank you for making it free. Starting working on my tailwheel endorsement in a few days and this is so helpful. I hope I do as well as Jill did!
Love this, Damian. I do a bit of teaching in a Pacer. You're comment on wheel landings re: "When the tail is done, the wings are done" is a great way to reinforce the appropriate time to bring/allow the tail wheel to touch. Three reasons to retract flaps on the three pointers in a cross wind is a golden nugget as well.
I enjoyed the video. Excellent description of wheel landing techniques. I was surprised you didn’t move to the pavement at the end. A small amount of drift at touchdown is forgiven by the grass but can get exciting on the asphalt.
Good info. Fly a Champ and to be honest never really thought I had much use for wheel landing ( except to look cool ) but considering the gusty head wind scenario you mention is worth keeping in mind. Thought she did a great job if those were first Tailwheel landings.
5 to 10 hours of in-flight instruction. lots of TO & landings. Prior to that, you need 5 to 10 hours of "shore school" (such as this video and others) and instructor shore-school prior to the 5-10 IFI

I bought this video on dvd a few years back. Awesome resource. Hope everyone sees what is being given away for free here!
Great video Damian, hoping to get together soon. I still need some help with Citabria.

Nice video, thanks!

This is brilliant
How long does it take to learn all this!

Will Tailwheel 201 be published here too soon?
We will, but I don't have a date yet. There are still DVDs being sold for this in stores, so we don't want to pull the rug out from under them.
It’s here!
It's 101 alright 😁
Jill nailed the pop-quiz... I think I would have choked, not easy to remember all that stuff.
Hhhjhg
Well said
