Cosworth,
You may well find it well worthwhile going to the Tiger Club at Headcorn. They'll give you a taildragger checkout and teach you 'proper' aeros, and you can take part in the monthly competitions throughout the summer to get a feel for it.
As a side benefit you've got Nick Onn and Richard Pickin practicing unlimited level in the overhead and other former international level competitors and display pilots available to teach you.
There is simply no better value for money than that.
