Hello all - I’m getting back into aviation after ~ a five year break and have recently purchased a Kolb Mark III with a Rotax 912UL.. 

I live in Bend Oregon and am looking for some tailwheel instruction. Training in my plane would be great however it only has brakes on the PIC side. 

I can travel if need be and my preference is to train in a small, light, and similar airplane. 



 

Any contact information or suggested sources would be greatly appreciated. 



 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi Mike -

Check with Joe Sheldon at  Cline Falls Airpark in Redmond. He's not an instructor, but he does lots  of work on ultralight-type and light sport aircraft and probably knows  who might be giving instruction in the Bend/Prineville/Redmond area. His  contact info is: joe(at)lsaaviationsrvc.com  541.892.7637   www.lsaaviationsrvc.com



If you can get  someone to ferry your Kolb down to Cave Junction (Illinois Valley  Airport) one of the best instructors around is Wolf Emonds. He has a  full-time flight training school. What's even better - he has a lodge  practically next to the airport that he lets students stay in. Contact  him (at) captaindrakesfaa(at)gmail.com   541.415.0600   captaindrakesfaa.com

    If you decide to go this route, you might want to contact Dave Richards  at Eagle's Nest Airport (OR65) in Eagle Creek, Oregon who does a lot of  ferrying of Light Sport aircraft and definitely knows how to fly  taildraggers. He's usually eager to ferry.  Reach him (at) 503.407.8531

If  you want taildragger instruction in a Cub, contact Steve Huggins, who  is an instructor and who also lives (at) Eagle's Nest. Reach him (at) drhuggins1(at)aol.com or 503.939.3375.  He might be willing to train you in your own Kolb. 



And...if  you're not averse to doing a little traveling, join us at Sandy River  Airport (O36) on Saturday, July 27 for our annual ultralight/light sport  fly-in and barbeque. We usually have anywhere from 15-20  ultralight-type LSAs fly in, and we have almost a dozen which hangar at  our field. Bring the family!

Hope this is helpful -
