I'm looking for suggestions as to where to do tailwheel training. I'm based in north Norfolk and can fly to possible training locations. Preference would be to do it in a Super Cub. Will probably do it next month. Currently considering the following

- Clacton/Duxford (I think they're the same people, it seems that the tailwheel training is normally done at Clacton but will be done from Duxford in October)
- Andrewsfield
- Cambridge (they have an Extra 200 rather than the Cub)
- Stapleford (did my PPL here)
- Skyward at Rougham (I know nothing about these people)

Any suggestions/feedback/alternatives?

Cheers

Neil

Have a chat with James Peplow at Aircraft Differences Training based at Gloucester. He regularly does one to one, bespoke, intensive courses on his (delightful) Citabria.

Skyward are generally excellent. They've only just done a deal for the supercub and it came with an instructor.

IF the level is as good as their ab initio training, I'd recommend them, but I've not met the new chap. (Must come recommended if Chris SR wants to use him though)

Try Stephen Waddy at Rutland Flying School, near Stamford, I can recommend him and his Super Cub.

What Cessna 57 said. I am about to get to grips with the training wheel at the wrong end so ready to tackle something much more serious then their Cub in the reasonably foreseeable future.

Clacton were very good a few years ago, not been recently.

White Waltham does a lot of Tailwheel conversions on either Cub or Tiger Moth. It is very very popular.

I did a tailwheel conversion at Rougham in their new 150 Super Cub last month. I had done a bit of tailwheel flying previously in USA but was still surprised when Clive (their instructor) sent me solo after less than 2 hours. The runway is 800 meters grass and very wide (which helped a bit on one or two of my landings ) and its a real friendly place to visit. Their pre course training material is excellent also and I will certainly be going back for some solo hire.

The Tiger Club are now at Damyns Hall. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Dave Wood at Tatenhill does tailwheel conversions and aeros training in a Decathlon

Thanks for all the suggestions. It looks like Rougham might be top of the list - I had a chat with them and they sound very good, and also it has the advantage that I can drive there if I can't get hold of the group 'plane in order to fly there (wouldn't fancy the drive down to Clacton...)

+ 1 for Rougham.

Got checked out on their Archer recently for back-up hire.

Recent Cub acquisition mentioned elsewhere.

Great people :Have known the owners for 30 years.

Handy for me (2 miles from my front door) What's not to like.

Just wondered how the OP got on with his/her tail wheel conversion.
