O.K lets see if anyone agrees with this thought.

The reason there are so few tailwheel qualified instructors ( qualified percentage wise for the number of instructors )
is because of "marketing" .

The market is driven by flying schools. As long as they do not encourage learning to fly using simple tailwheel airplanes initially to teach the student the use of rudder there will always be the lack of flying skills that is evident everywhere.

But hell I know I am expecting to much.
