Why should it be asking a bit much to teach ab initio on a taildragger? If we were having this discussion on the 1950s valve powered pprune (probably sticking messages on a board with dymo tape), not learning on a taildragger would hardly be an option, and we'd be comparing the relative merits of Moths, Austers, Chipmunks, Cubs, Taylorcraft etc.
