Ever Wanted to Fly Like the Cowboys Do?

If you’ve been itching to get behind the stick of a taildragger, there’s no better place to start than in a J3 Cub—under the seasoned wing of LaRosa. With 45 years of flight experience, LaRosa’s instruction goes beyond just checking the endorsement box. His training is rooted in real airmanship, forged in the hands-on challenge that a J3 Cub can deliver.

“The Cub is not difficult to fly, but it is difficult to fly in the wind.” – LaRosa


“Taildraggers intimidate pilots because they expose airmanship weaknesses.” – LaRosa


“Trust me... you don’t know what your feet are for.” – LaRosa

You won’t just walk away with a tailwheel signoff—you’ll walk away with the confidence to handle crosswinds that make other pilots sweat. Whether you’re new to taildraggers or want to refine your stick and rudder skills, this is the seat where you’ll earn it.

LaRosa also offers High Performance/Complex Endorsements, as well as Flight Reviews.
