My first tail dragger was the Super Cub, and yes the first time I was all over the shop. Things like the direction of the wind and the swing at the start of the take off run were suddenly so much more important, also remembering the visual picture when the tail was up (for about a second when solo
). After a little while I got used to it and but even now things go wandering a bit sometimes. I have never landed a tail dragger on the hard before- I'm told it is harder than grass. You really can't take good landings for granted like you can in the PA28 for example. Taildraggers demand more attention and concentration but remember at one time everyone learnt on them, its just today that the GA world has gone soft.
