A tailwheel endorsement locally is usually 8-10 hours. Pretty funny,
really, when you consider that Piper salesmen in the 1940s/1950s used
to persuade local businessmen to club together and buy a Cub by
proving how easy it was to learn to fly. This they would do by picking
out the local high-school athlete (figuring he had good reflexes) and
soloing him in one day.

(Presumably they picked a calm day!)

Dan.. I did my first tailwheel in the same Cubs you fly at Hampton... I
already had my Pvt Rating... and it took about 3 hours.. but that was before
the days of "endorsements"
