Our local spin-endorsement guy at KHFD is Joe Gauthier (
www.flythecub.com), but his cub has had some registration issues for a while. I've seen a decathlon at AD-UP Aviation at KBAF, and a cub at KSNC.
Everything I've read says that tailwheel time is great for improving stick and rudder skills. I haven't had anything but 172 time (and a few hrs 150), so the variety will be nice.
Thanks for the suggestions!
That's funny, we probably know each other. I've spent quite a bit of time at HFD over the past several years. Sorry to hear Joe is having issues with the cub.
I've heard nothing but good things about George Munson up at BAF (I've spent A LOT of time there too, lol). I've met him a few times, but never got to fly with him. Everything I can tell, he's held in pretty high regard, and seems like a really nice guy.
Also may want to look into the school at Great Barrington GBR. I don't know much about them, but I do know they have a few J-3s.
Good Luck
