Awesome staff and very knowledgeable Flight Instructor. Made me feel very comfortable with the new experience of flying in a conventional tailwheel-type landing gear aircraft. The instructions on how it operates compared to tricycle gear, made practical handling easy to get used to. I had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat. The Piper Cub aircraft flies slowly yet is t experience ofa

The absolute best money way to spend your day! This has undoubtedly been the most wonderful experience for my 16 yo son who has been interested in being a pilot. Travis, the flight instructor, was absolutely great! He walked us around the hangar, the plane and set very clear expectations and was a great conversationalist. Kudos to the team at Right Rudder Aviation for an unforgettable experience
