Where are you, Runandbreak ? If the Midlands try Northampton School of Flying (Super Cub, grass runway and Pitts S-2A) or Tatenhill Aviation (Super Decathlon - about as easy as a Super Cub but fully aerobatic as well), they also have an unlicensed grass runway beside the hard, licensed, one. In my experience as long as the instructor is reasonably competent it doesn't really matter after you've mastered the basics-I taught myself wheeler landings after getting reasonably competent at 3-pointers. By the way I recommend 'The Compleat Taildragger Pilot' by Harvey S. Plourde.
