1:20 with Bob Cole at Thruxton, not a man who takes prisoners either!

Frankly I think that people get too worked up on the subject of taildraggers. Yes it's great fun, but also a different skill that MUST be learned and practiced. Also there are many really nice aeroplanes that are taildraggers.

But, they're still aeroplanes, nothing mysterious about them, nor is it true (in my opinion) that no aeroplane is any good unless it is a taildragger.
