I also did my ppl on a Condor in the early seventies. No one ever said to me “ this is a tail dragger, its much harder to operate than a Tricycle” After passing the ppl tests, I converted onto tricycle undercarriage aircraft, PA28, late I bought a Jodel and flew several hundred hours in it. I ground looped it only once due to complacency as I had not had any problems before.
I am wondering if anyone think that the Condor was more docile as a tail dragger than many other types, as it was quite heavy I seem to remember, compared to say a Cub. Any thoughts?
