Tail Dragger Conversion

I have recently bought into a tail dragger group (Condor). Up until now I have only ever flown normal tricycle type aircraft (Piper PA28, Cessnas).

I have booked with a qualified instructor to do a tail dragger conversion - he reckons 4 to 5 hours.

As a holder of a JAR-PPL for SEP (Land) is there anyhting LEGALLY to stop me just jumping in and going for a flight (NOT that I intend to - I'm stupid but not THAT stupid) - just wondered what the legal position is.

Also what would the insurance position be?? and finally does the conversion have to be done by a qualified insructor or could it be done with any PPL who has already got his/her conversion?

No doubt all the answers can be found in the depths of some CAA publication but I cannot find anything relevant in my searches.

Cheers.
