"only problem with those is the endurance, i'd have to needlessly hop, step and jump my way to anywhere significant and with gravel strips ruled out (company ops manual) it doesn't make for good experience =\"
So let me get this straight.....you want to get ten hours PiC on a tailwheel aircraft (guessing you're looking at a job with CALM) and you'd prefer to do it with the minimum number of takeoffs/landings?! Not very sporting are you?
You should find something with 10hrs endurance, then you'd only have to do one of each and your problem would be solved.
