The 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.

Useful 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.

A very easy and smooth process! Great price for amazing quality. The website was easy to use, offered a variety of different sizes of luggage to choose from, and shipping was fast!

I’m excited to find the helicopter student pilot kit. It’s awesome I didn’t have to buy the books individually. It’s for my husband who I bought him a trip with a helicopter school to see if he liked it and he wants to FLY
