Our was cheaper than a number of simpler taildraggers I could mention but it's a handful. Had my first dual session in the 235hp Maule last night. Where's the "eek" button?

Still you've got the right idea. UH have masses of experience that could be passed on in this area. Yet as say Poet finds, utilisation isn't all that great for tailwheel aircraft in general. You really have to make a name for yourself in this field like Clacton do. Heck offer t/w PPLs if you want. If utilisation is down for training, then as you say using a simple tailwheel for transport between bases can allay this issue.

I lusted after my instructor's Emmy last night. Naughty!
