Stick ‘n Rudder was created from a love of tailwheel flying. Early on in his career, Founder, Doug Field recognised the many benefits of initial and advanced flight training in a tailwheel aircraft and hasn’t looked back. The tailwheel design provides pilots with greater feedback and naturally encourages them to develop their sensory inputs, creating safer pilots through superior Stick ‘n Rudder skills.
The best part of carrying out tailwheel flight training is that the aircraft allows you to access a unique training environment, particularly if it is kitted out with Alaskan Bushwheels. We expose our pilots to numerous bush strips that have their own unique set of challenges, allowing our student’s skills and knowledge to flourish.
In addition to our in-person training, we have developed a first-class Online Tailwheel course that contains educational content, quizzes and videos that can be done on the fly, on any device.
If you’re looking for world-class tailwheel training, you’ve landed in the right location.
Our apparel is for pilots, pioneers and people that love to adventure. We have carefully crafted an exclusive collection of Australian Made products that resonate with our brand.
Our partners that manufacture these products are small businesses, just like us. They are handmade with love from the finest materials available. All items are made to order and made to last.
Stick ‘n Rudder was founded on a love of aviation, specifically, grassroots tailwheel flying. These were the good old days when pilots flew by the seat of their pants, judged the speed of their machine by the noise of the wind whistling in the control wires and the health of it, purely by the way it felt.
Stick ‘n Rudder aims to continue this legacy by providing world-class tailwheel flight training both in the aeroplane and online, connecting tailwheel aircraft buyers and sellers, while advocating and promoting bush flying in Australia.
Stick ‘n Rudder is not just for pilots, it’s for every explorer. Pilot your own adventure.
