for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

That's 250 miles away, way to far :-(
I really need something where I can go to after school...

There used to be a school at Penn Yan, with J-3 cubs.. I do not know if they
are still there.

I could recommend a summer vacation to Hampton Beach NH, and fly the J-3s,
L-4s off their grass runway.

"too"

It will give you an excuse to get into a nosewheel airplane and fly some
cross country.

There's a list of Cub-friendly airports and Cub instruction (there are
other kinds of taildragging, of course) at
www.pipercubforum.com/friendly.htm

The "Cub Clues" newsletter of the Cub Club in every issue lists
tailwheel instructors in various places.

The notion of spending a week at Hampton NH 7B3 is another way to go.
You might also look at Andover Flight Academy in New Jersey (a pretty
place, very rural) where Damian Delgaizo has a Super Cub and an L-4
for training, and is looking to get a new Cub Sport from Cub Crafters
this summer.

(Did anyone ever use "Cub" so many times in one post?)

I recall 3-4 years ago Arrow had a Texas Taildragger C-152 conversion,
(long gone) but after reading your post I gave them a call. They have a
J-3 for $99/hr and their CFI rate for that plane is $43/hr. Once I'm
through with this ATP stuff I'll have to get over there for the TW
endorsement. Been wanting to do that for years now...

I keep my Lance at DXR, do you have a plane there Jose??

Would you like somebody to keep the engine warm?

You might want to contact East Hill Flying Club at Ithaca, NY
(http://ithacanet.org/Orgs/EHFC/). It's nearby and they just bought a
Citabria and plan to have instruction up and running soon.
Good luck,

Flying 5-6 hours every week practicing for the ATP ride is doing a good
job of that G
