It will be fun for you, you won't be one coming from one of those pilot mills that the current generation seems to. Let us know your progress. Good luck Tim

Good luck Tim! I learned to fly in a '40 BL65 & would not trade that experience for anything. My first lessons were on ski's. You'll be a better pilot for it. Eric

If you learn on Taildragger you can fly a C 150 with One Eye shut!
Have fun!
But NOT the other way around!
Ps last time a flown a C 150 I forgot the flaps, I just side sliped in instead!
I was to used to the T craft!(;f
