Taildraggers are great fun and they definitely require more "piloting" than a tricycle. Real flying!
When I did my taildragger endorsement,as I approached the A/C (a Decathlon) with my instructor,he said "you see it there all tied down?" to which I nodded."Well,it is safe now" he said. "As soon as we untie it it is likely to do ANYTHING!"
How right he was!
At that stage I had a few hundred hours on tricycles and all of a sudden I had to learn to fly again and learn to use those things on the floor that I thought were footrests!
