Agree!
Both tail wheel and glider.
I could never translate from "step on the ball" to "step opposite the yarn". :D |

Gliders should be a mandatory first step and you shouldn't be allowed a training (nose) wheel until after you've mastered a tail wheel. IMHO. I also firmly believe that until you can navigate with a map and a compass and nothing more you should never be allowed to turn on a GPS. But nobody died and made me the flight training king so it's all good. ;) |

Only did it once. A buddy was an aerobatic instructor in those things. If you ever get a chance, you won't regret it.
Also did it once right before sunset(the only time I could go up). Man the peacefulness and sunset in AZ was one of those moments. |

At least that's the confusion the "string points to" advice seems to cause in students......:) |
