I too have recently been hooked on taildraggers, and in particular the Chippie.
I find that the aircraft somehow involves the pilot so much more in the experience, not just in terms of handling, but in terms of soul!
The smell and the sound combined with the feeling of being a "temorary custodian" of a valuable antique all combine to force the muscles in my face to contort so that a smile becomes impossible to avoid!
Even just taxiing with the canopy back is just such a wonderful feeling!
I've also recently had a go in the Pitts with AC at WW, and was sufficiently moved to start a thread about it.
If only the vagueries of time and money didn't impeed me so; I'd be able to tell you of my significant progress after my initial lesson!
Anyway, I'm babbling again.......
Stick with it and enjoy!!
