- GSGILBERT S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoThe Compleat Taildragger Pilot
This book was recommended to me by my tailwheel instructor before we began lessons. It was very helpful transitioning me to a TW and full of useful information that you need. Recommend it if you are interested in learning the techniques of TW airplanes.
- RCR. C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoUseful addition for anyone learning to fly the oldies
Great compliment to Stick and Rudder, tho not quite as amusing. The crosswind explanations are particularly good.
