You need to learn the proper attitude for whatever aircraft you fly.
Learning to land a Cessna 170 will not improve your landings in a 182. Learning to land a 182 will. George Patterson I whole-heartedly agree with this statement. I got my tailwheel endorsement in my husband's Luscombe 8A. I flew it 70 hours before I bought my own 8E. I tried to fly Lester like his 8A and it didn't work! Once I understood that my airplane had it's own set of peculiar characteristics, things settled down. I do believe that tailwheel training does help a pilot understand the meaning of straight. Flying the Luscombes improved my landings in my C-172. Deb -- 1946 Luscombe 8A (His) 1948 Luscombe 8E (Hers) 1954 Cessna 195B, restoring (Ours) Jasper, Ga. (JZP)
