Greetings All.
I'm a low time pilot (150 hours) without much tailwheel time (10 hours in a C-140 and 5 in a Stinson 108).
My dad had a searey amphib for a while, and the ability to fly with the canopy open was intoxicating. I'm looking for a sky motorcycle. Not looking for hard acro, just a simple airplane.
I'm mostly sold on a Hatz or Kelly D. I've 'heard' that the handling is benign, and the experience sounds like what I want.
Does anybody have any recommendations on transition training? Does anyone with Hatz experience think it might be too much airplane too soon?
