Quote: "Remember fifty years ago initial training was taildragger." The RAF used the Chippy as their elementary trainer up until 1993. the EFTS got a new batch of students every month who hadn't flown before and went solo usually within ten hours. They didn't know any different. So based on this, I'm sticking my head above the parapet by saying that converts who find taildraggers challenging have too many bad habits to un-learn!

Just imagine you're new to flying and try to relax. Put away the notion that taildraggers are hard and just concentrate on using your feet and finding that three point attitude.
