Tailwheel conversion

Recently, my syndicate owned a/c was involved in a landing acccident, which has rendered it U/S for a few weeks at the least. Rather than sit around feeling sorry for myself, that I'm paying monthly fees, and can't go flying, I've decided to broaden my horizon. I did consider some areo's training, including some spinning, simply to improve my handling skills. However, I think I've decided to take some tailwheel differences training, as I've always wanted to fly something nostalgic, like a Moth.

Can has anyone give me an indication of how many hours it might take for the tail wheel conversion, (probably in a Cub), and then how many hours for a checkout in a Moth. I know we are all different, and what may take one person 5 hours may take another 10, but I'm just after a ball park idea. All my flying to date has been on Pipers or Robins.

Thanks in advance.
