The Basler is okay, but sort of slow motion as a taildragger. It takes longer to get yourself into trouble [than a light GA type], and even longer yet to get yourself out. Lots of rudder effect, a locking tailwheel and power you can split if you have to, I'm not sure it's a core example of a taildragger in terms of "fun" or "easy". But it is satisfying to wheel land gently, and hold the tail off, just because you can!
