lovely aircraft, tail dragger which will improve your handling and situational awareness.

Only problem is it really needs to be hangered. And if you have any problems with the airframe or skin requiring to be fixed it can be a pain to find someone that can do a good job fixing it.

Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of instructors qualified to do the differences training on them.

Ideally you would want a group with a range of experience on tail draggers along with someone that knows about the paper work side of things for ownership.

Again most tail dragger groups aren't interested in hour builders.

I have seen a few kids that have got in with a local owner who doesn't fly much and is more than happy to take the kid under their wing and watch them develop. But to find one of them your going to have to put the time in turning up at airfields. Offering to wash aircraft etc.
