Tennessee Pilots

Hello,
Are there any pilots in the TN area, eastern part especially?
Taildragger experience? I am training to get my sport pilot license and
would be interested in some taildragger knowledge.

Don't know of any in E. Tenn. but Travis Hames in WNC can train you in his
J-5. www.hamesaircraft.com

Thanks ! I don't see the J-5 on the sport list, but who knows it could have
been added. I see he just sold a Taylorcraft and I think most of them
qualify. I sent him an email and maybe something can be done, thanx again!

The J-5 is not a Sport plane, but isn't much different than a J-3 that
is. It'll still give you the taildragger experience you're looking
for.

The big dilemma!
I don't think I can fly it once I get my sport pilots license. Maybe he
will get another plane like the Taylorcraft..or even my favorite a Luscombe
8A. I am going to be building a Hummel Ultracruiser Plus so that is why I
would like to get some taildragger time. I'd love to buy an old
Luscombe..seen a few nice ones in classifieds. but no hangar and no way I
can get financing( another divorce story! HAHA) Maybe I will get lucky one
of these days and buy a house with enough land for my private little
airstrip and build my own hangar, and maybe find a fixer upper Luscombe!

Patrick,

Are you on the Luscombe List? If not go to yahoo.com and join. It's the best
source of Luscombe related information. If you plan to fly Sport Pilot, be
sure to limit your quest for one of these fine birds to the 8A model. The
other models do not meet the weight requirements.

Good luck,
Deb

Hello Debbie,
On list list I have it has the Luscombe 8, 8A, 8B,8C, and 8D as
qualifying for sport category. Though an 8A would be what I am looking for.
A guy had a nice polished auminum for sale on BArnstormers site and it was
just sooooooooo sweet! hee hee Finding CFI's with a sport plane is the real
difficult part! I am training in a Piper Cherokee, and they do not have a
"sport plane" for solos and such. I know it will be awhile before I get the
Plus built. So I hope the CFI's break down and buy one! HAHA
