Finally after a long search, and a great inspection (I hope they find my cowl), I have gone back to my Alaskan roots and stepped into the taildragger world. I have enjoyed flying around the state of Idaho so much, but now that we are back here for good, its time for a game changer. Transition time, and dual for insurance, but I am so fortunate to be surrounded by some amazing pilots, that will have so much to teach me about the new world. It's time to start at square 1 and learn to fly again! :rock:

Congratulations.

A fun challenge for sure. I am also new to the taildragger world. Fun for sure, humbling to say the least! Make sure you get as much dual as needed.

One thing I have found out about the 185; it will let you know when its not landed to its satisfaction!

Rgs,

Patrick.

My uncle and his airpark neighbor from Arizona both bring their planes to Coeur D'Alene every summer. My uncle brings is V35B, his neighbor put his 206 on floats, and brings it up.
