Tailwheel Transition Course, Spin Avoidance and Recovery Course and Unusual Attitude Recovery Course 
 
I was forced to fly with my right hand, never done that before. I believe I received the tools to get out of tricky situations plus I really increased my rudder awareness.
 
I would change nothing at all about the courses, I loved every minute of it.

Tailwheel Transition Course w Flight Review

 
- The flight review process was relevant, not a tedious process that doesn’t relate to anything real.
- I got to fly a great little airplane that I probably would have never logged time in otherwise
- I learned that 1H0 is a respectable airport, which may sound trivial but for someone who previously operated primarily from SUS this is more meaningful than it may sound
- I learned from an instructor with great experience and information to pass along.  I’m not blowing smoke here either.  For example, you taught me to use the wind to my advantage and to expect it and let it help me rather than to look at it as an adversary and work against it.  Every lesson had at least one nugget like that.

What would I change about the course?
- I gave this some thought before trying to answer it.  I definitely struggled with some points and I think in part some of it was from not being in the front of a plane in 7 years.  Part I think was a lack of procedural understanding on my part.  I read all the information you provided, but the power on and off landings just didn’t come together for me until the point when I made my own list from memory of steps, then compared it to the document to correct it.  I needed to break it down into simple steps, and I needed to do that on my own.  For something new like that I can’t just hear about it and go do it.  When we practiced unusual attitudes you had me call out steps as you did them, which I think was very helpful in me seeing and comprehending the steps.  I think the same approach, along with a little bit more preflight discussion, on the first day for a new procedure would have helped me.  The exercise where we flew above the runway without landing to help visualize the power on wheel landing was also a great teaching tool for me.  That was the lesson where I came prepared with my procedure list broken into steps, and I think that day was the turning point for me on understanding (but not executing) the wheel landings.  Prior to that I thought I understood it, but I didn't know enough to know that I didn't.

Would I recommend the course to others?  Already have.

I have owned a Cessna 180 for several years. Power off wheel landing have always been troubling for me. I think I have learned what I have been doing wrong from your article.
I will check it out when the weather breaks here in Al. Thanks for a very straight forward stick and rudder article. Best one I have ever read.

Spin Avoidance and Recovery Course

 
Thank you so much for the training, I enjoyed the instruction and flying with you very much.
 
I liked the gradual exposure to spins and the attention you paid to avoid any discomfort. I enjoyed your explanation for most stall-spin accidents. It made a lot of sense. I liked your calm, non-judgmental manner. I liked the fact that you were always there early with the plane ready to go and your flexibility for changing schedules. Finally, I liked the spins themselves, it is fun when you can fly in an attitude other than right side up.
 
I would certainly recommend the course to others.
 
In addition to the spin endorsement, I picked up some very valuable lessons about flight instruction in general which I hope to incorporate into my teaching style when I get my CFI.

Tailwheel Transition Course w Flight Review 
 
Very efficient use of time.  Great Instructonal Technique. You allowed me to make and then correct errors/mistakes by coaching me through each situation. Immediate feedback with things to watch for allowed me to improve significantly, both mentally and in execution , with each iteration.
Typically I prefer structure to a training program, but I think my training profile for each sortie deviated from your normal syllabus because of our starting with my BFR and then building on that. We talked briefly before each sortie about what was to be accomplished. I would have preferred a written list of objectives for the sorties.
I would absolutely recommend this course to others.
Your instructional technique and style is one of the best I have experienced. I am an instructor myself and have several take-aways from flying with you that I will use to improve my performance. Your smooth, calm coaching, along with demonstration when needed was well presented and well timed to maximize my learning. Thanks for a great experience!

Tailwheel Transition Course 
 
I loved learning a new skill and flying the Citabria. I also enjoyed how organized you were with the syllabus and paperwork.
I would change nothing about the course, but I would like to have had more crosswind situations.
I really enjoyed flying with you and look forward to Spin training. And, thank you for the photo and certificate.

Tailwheel Transition Course
 
I liked the emphasis on power off approaches, I had to break the rust out of my brain.
 
Given my size there no way I could fit in the front so it was tougher from the rear seat.
 
I would change nothing about the course and I would recommend it to others.
 
I have flown both the clubs aircraft, the Pawnee and Maule and had no problems.

Tailwheel Transition Course 
 
It was a very good course, great instruction on the how and why a tailwheel aircraft behaves the way it does.
 
This type of training brings you back to the basics. If you don't know it when you started you will before
you finish.
 
I had a great time.

Ron is a great instructor. He knows what you are going to do before you do it. The courses teach you great stick and rudder skills and make you a more confident pilot. I would change nothing about the courses.
 
I would recommend that every student pilot, as soon as he/she recieves their private pilot ticket take this course before tacking on any other ticket or endorsement.This course will stay with them through their entire lifetime of flying.
 
Thanks Ron for a great course and a great time flying.

What I liked about the courses was the Instructor(and of course the Citabria). Ron is an exceptional instructor. Very patient and able to relate concepts and techniques of tailwheel and spin/unusual attitude recovery with ease.
 
Thanks so much for your training. I learned a lot of detail in a short time due to your skill as an instructor as well as your dedication to flying.

Well maintained smooth running aircraft. Great instruction and direction. The tone and temperment of the instructor were a perfect balance to impart the skills needed to accomplish the tasks and gain proficiency on  both turf and pavement.
 
Thanks for the great instruction and experience. I hope we can fly together again.
