Tailwheel endorsement in Central Florida
Does anyone have any recommendations for a place to get a tailwheel endorsement in the central Florida area? Preferrably ORL, SFB, or ISM? I already know that I can do it at Air Orlando (ORL), but it is a bit on the pricey side. I found a place on the internet called GutmanAir out of TIX that looks reasonably priced, but I would prefer something a little closer if I can find it. Also, if you have any opinions on GutmanAir, please share those too in case I end up doing it there. I could even go up to DAB if anyone knows of reputable, reasonably priced school up that way. Thanks in advance.

This is not directed at anyone in this thread because I fully endorse tailwheel flying, however I find it strange that when someone pays for a tailwheel endorsement no one says anything, but if someone even hints at paying for a type rating (regardless of the cost difference) there are several people who pop up to voice their opinion...
Just an observation, nothing more.
