My understanding is that if your aeroplane is on a permit, you can, as a member of the PFA, use one of their authorised Coaches instead of an instructor for your one hour training flight. I do not think that there is a problem using your tailwheel aircraft and strip although if you want to do circuits you may need to go to a licensed field as you could be in breach of rule 5 to do touch and goes at a farmstrip. Since the flight is not a flight for the prupose of gaining a rating or licence merely to revalidate an existing licence and rating use of the permit aircraft is unlikely to be a problem but the flight has to be logged as PUT, so I guess you will need to have dual controls in case (in the ulikely event) the other pilot needs to take control.
