Thierry,

Once you are flying, all this talk will stop. Just take one of them for a ride and let them feel the flight controls, he will tell the others and you will never have to defend the T-18 again.

In the great white North here in Quebec you have 1 big group of pilots:

1-Cessna and Piper are the only real flyable aircraft.
2-Nose wheel airplane is the only way to land safely.
3-Taildragger owner are daredevil or stunt pilots!

Unfortunatly I dont fit on any sentence above....

1-I have a Cessna 150 and a Piper Pacer ;)
2-Nose wheel plane is for Sunday afternoon pilots with no crosswind 8)
3-All my 3 planes are taildragger :o

I have more friends in this forum than I have at my local Airport... With my tailwheel planes I'm the black sheep of the Airport!

VIVA LA ''THORP'' REVOLUTION!!!!!!!
VIVA VIVA!!!!!
