I was told to build my first trainer (Goldberg Eagle) with a tail skid and was taught to turn it with a little blast of throttle and a release of the elevator and its tail would raise a little blip right around.G round handling has never been a problem since. I was taught to fly by David McDonald up in Eldon. Mo almost 25 years ago. Another flyer at our club learned from that club also. It is rather amazing that we both teach very similarly even today. A big part of teaching someone to fly is teaching them to teach. We always say you pay it back by teaching someone else. Instructing really improved my own flying skills. Now I have a couple of busted up planes in the shop....Guess I better teach more!
