122.45, if you haven't yet contacted the Jodel owners' group, you might find it invaluable. The small contact I've had with some of their number is recommendation. Ditto the PFA boards, where there are, perhaps, a higher proprtion of taildraggin' types than here (although not necessarily a larger number). When I acquired my current love, I joined the associated club and have found nothing but help, advice and support: a little money that's been repaid with interest already.
I have only been in a Jodel once and was impressed by the differences between that and the Cubs and Citabria I'd flown up to that time. To reiterate what others have said, you seem to be doing just fine. Don't beat yourself up, go play and enjoy the experiences (matron says so).
On the second subject and as one who did, but during training, I can assure you it doesn't have to be scary. The Citabria knew more about what was happening than I did.
