Willy, as someone who learnt to fly on taildraggers, I don't think you appreciate the culture shock to one who never had to worry about approach speed accuracy, and who thought it was all over once the wheels were on the ground.
Having also learnt on Chipmunks, I found converting others to it was a matter of drumming in Accurate speed, Hold off, and it ain't over til the prop is stopped.
Its true that some dork in JAA has made them 'complex types' so Nishko will now have to do a proper course. Good luck you WILL enjoy.
