RV6-VNE :
Did the Texas Taildragger you used have the original main gear moved foward? Or did you have the later gear they supplied that was long enough to raise the airplane into the proper fully stalled attitude?
As to training with tailwheel airplanes you made very good comments, only one thought that I have is how come when we learned to fly there were only tailwheel airplanes and we flew off paved runways with x/winds with no more accidents than todays schools?
Could it be a state of a mind and instructor competance issue?
Have fun with your RV, the best of the lot out there.
