Greeting,
Ive always loved mini bi-planes. With that being said I recently located a Baby Great Lakes in flying condition for what I feel is a fair price. Im wondering what it would take for me to be successful flying it. I realize there is no easy awnser and there are many variables. Im currently a private pilot with about 500hrs in various Cessnas and ultralights. My tailwheel experience is limited. About 10hrs in a Cessna 150/150 TW. If I was to get comfortable in my buddys Citabria would a average person be able to handle a Baby Great Lakes and not get hurt and wreck the plane? Ive heard some say I would need training in a Pitts to have a successful outcome. Thanks guys.
