Brian Leesburg was nice enough to send me a signed copy of his excellent book. While we come from different flying backgrounds, we have flown the same small airplanes and agree that much of the training is of lower quality than could just as easily be given. In common areas we generally agree and we both teach uncommonly taught techniques as well. His landing in a turn, which I didn't understand when we discussed it on this site, now makes sense to me.

Brian has obviously studied "Stick and Rudder. " He understands energy management and what the airplane wants to do.

Brian would answer John Boyd's do you want to be or do question "do. " What he is "doing " is teaching quality and efficiency in flying small,low powered, tailwheel airplanes. And belief in what makes sense over what is official but doesn't necessarily make sense.

Brian Lansburgh (correct spelling)

Both Jim Dulin and Brian Lansburgh's books are great "Stick and Rudder" resources.
