Don't see why not. However, be very choosy about which instructor you use to train you on tailwheel aircraft. I have come across instructors who think that a five-hour tailwheel conversion course will enable them to teach students how to handle taildraggers. Ideally you want an instructor who teaches on a variety of taildraggers and regularly flies them.
Incidently, has anyone noticed how JAR requires differences training for tailwheel aircraft, but no mention is made of tailskid aircraft? There are plenty of the latter, e.g. Tiger Moths.
