Looks to me like that is a C185 skywagon, as kgruber had indicated...oh you mean the blonde? No clue. ;)

SO much good information and opinions here guys, I appreciate it! I am gonna check out that reading material, also. Thanks so much for the time and attention y'all out into my question!

It's an aeronca champ. Lovely little lady!

I've just had my first flight in a taildragger yesterday, and I am HOOKED on the way this aircraft flies! So, I wanna know more. Is there a reason for landing differently? Is it personal preference? Are there weather/wind conditions that would dictate which type of landing would be more...

I mean...they're gonna find a tarantula...and a crap-load of twisted creative writing and art...they may never be the same again... As long as they find my dog and my cat and the rest of my pets and take good care of them, I dont give a damn what they find lol

Oooh, I LOVE scammers! Got a call from the Texas Drug Enforecment Agency a few months ago. Weird how Texans have started talking with Middle Eastern accents. But, apparently my social security number was being suspended because it had been connected with suspicious activity including drug...

Well, yes, compared to the CTLS I've been in for the past several months, going back to the 152 is like getting into a Ford Bronco after driving a Honda civic. But yes, I'm glad I opted for waiting for a calmer day to spend my money on a more productive lesson.

Ok...thanks...I feel better about not going up...

Well it's not just all about my schedule...it's hard to fly when there are no planes or instructors open.

Welcome to northeastern Illinois...:(

Ok, so I wasn't being a sissy about it..? I just really was looking for confirmation that I made the right call.

Lol then I need a different job

I'm only a little over 20 hours along, and yes, there was a crosswind gusting up to 26 variable between 220 and 280. So I could imagine that my instructor may have helped ke make a better choice.

9 kt gusting at 26, of course in the heat of the middle of the afternoon. So, I do feel better knowing that my instructor was honest with me about what little, if anything, could have been accomplished

So, this week was insanely windy, to the point where my instructor at RAC didnt find it to be appropriate or productive to go up. Me, jonesing to fly, called up Skill and scheduled a flight in the 152, hoping that a heavier plane might fare better. But after talking with the Skill instructor, I...

...I'm gonna go with the consensus I see here, as well as what I've learned from other pilots on the forums after I've asked questions regarding trim. I dont see how anyone could consider trimming to be NOT flying. To the OP, I have the same issue with steep turns. I'm a notorious...

Something I would definitely encourage you to to look into with your daughter is the "99s", an organization created by and for women pilots!

Thanks all for your tips and info! I'll definitely be checking out the suggested YT channels and reading.

My instructor owns one that he keeps at ENW. He wants to try me out in it, God bless him, because he knows how for I drive to RAC and wants to help me save money so that my class time is more focused on actual education rather than watching the clock on hiw much I'm spending.

Alright, here's my newbie question of the day--any good tips for someone who's only ever flown faster, nosewheel aircraft who is about to be thrown into a Champ?
