That is plain bunkum and simply inflates the myth that taildarggers are for superheros only.
I've clearly made a complete mess of what I'm trying to say here; I don't think taildraggers are for superheros only at all- hell if I can fly one then anyone can.

But SSD please at least grant me that in the US insurance costs for taildraggers are higher than for their nosewheel alternative which is a direct result of more landing accidents happening involving tailwheel aircraft.

Go get a tailwheel checkout and discover what tosh you are spouting.

Edit: You say you fly Supercubs. I find that worrying... I'm glad it's not my Supercub.
Oh and by the way I don't appreciate being accused of lying about my flying experience or having it implied that I'm a rubbish pilot.
