I did tailwheel conversion @ old sarum in a citabria and a c152 texas taildragger....both great fun machines..

..so afraid of them? No.
All due respect for the type of operations? oh yeah. I know they can bite....and I respect & remember that....

Teach on them? I would love to...but....I only have a little time in such beasties and it would therefore be silly for me to even attempt instructing...I would really need another 20 hours or so to get my own proficiency up to a stage where it was sensible...

I still yearn for a TW & grass strip within 15 mins drive of home!!!
