Book Reviews of The Compleat Taildragger Pilot
Book Review: A first-class guide to flying "conventional" a/c
Summary: 4 Stars
I learned to fly in a Piper Cub, and my instructor suggested this book. It's a homespun gem, with lots of simple line drawings and advice to keep you and your plane from "heading for the bushes." Yes! It's tough to tame the taildragger. (On my first takeoff, from a private field, I went off into the high grass beside the mowed runway and came home with hay festooned from the flying wires. Not too subtle!) With special attention to the quirks of various taildraggers and the most complete discussion of "P-factor" you're ever likely to find. Highly recommended for the student pilot who finds himself in a taildragger, or to any licensed pilot who wants to complete his education by transitioning to a "conventional" landing-gear craft.
