Cool Tailwheel PPL?

Hey PPRuNe' ers

Does anyone have any experience with Ace Aviation in Masterton, and/or doing their PPL on a tailwheel?

I'm looking to start my PPL but before jumping in headfirst, I would like to know of anyone with experience of the above.

I have looked at the Wgtn Aero Club and Kapiti (and the references to both on this site). However, there is not much information on either of them - and they dont fly tailwheel, and many people have advised that Wgtn Aero will cost more simply because its a very busy airport.

Friends have told me that a tailwheel PPL will make one a better pilot, as you have to learn better ground handling and landing skills. Any thoughts on this one (the guys advising me were RAF QFI's, so I figure they know something about the subject)?

Look forward to hearing any comments. Feel free to PM me.

Regards
Argo
