Apart from flying in DC-3's, I'd never been in a taildragger until this year when someone kindly took me up for a short scenic trip. Quite enjoyed the experience.
Circumstances had lead me to look for another aircraft to fly for pleasure. I had enjoyed a fast modern six place single but with Avgas prices on the rise was becoming very expensive.
Having spent a few months wondering what I was going to fly I am now in an RV-6 and I am grinning from ear to ear
I can now see how pilots can get in and out of 450 m runways, enjoy better views over short stubby wings and put the plane just where you want it.
But please.....don't ask me to expedite on the ground
I AM!
