All my tailwheel time was done in the first 100 hours and can only think of one humiliating aircraft and that was the Auster, Chipmunk and Tiger Moth not an issue. Early solo in the Auster doing circuits I came to thinking that the only way a permanent meeting of ground and aircraft was only going to occur by running out of fuel or by being shot down. Four decades latter reintroduced myself to tail wheels and was checked out in a Super Cub prior to test flying an RV-6, the RV took a little practice to land nicely but the Cub was a street walk, thou it was a nice day, Decathlon seemed the same as a Cub.
