About this aircraft

The Luscombe

N1302B is our Luscombe 8E, the airplane that teaches the feet. No flaps, a tailwheel, and zero tolerance for lazy rudder work. Sometimes it seems like it purposefully doesn't fly straight just to teach you a lesson.

It flies tailwheel endorsements, primary training foundations, and the rudder-coordination work that makes every North Aero pilot better in every other airplane.
