My tailwheel 'conversion' after five years away from f/w was five circuits and a few stalls in a Stearman, five years later exactly the same in a Tiger Moth and three circuits to solo in a Stampe plus some aerobatic work.
One groundloop in a Tiger taxiing at slow walking speed on hard ground.
There's no magic to it, you have tounderstand the dynamics involved, take charge of the aeroplane and fly it accurately as briefed. No doubt at all Cessna-derived paralysis of the feet is a habit some may take time to get over!
Currency on helicopters made all the diference, the footwork is so similar.
