That last point is certainly true.
I've the right experience and qualifications, but have had to turn down a number of instructing tasks because I can't get my hands on a taildragger with the right combination of paperwork and controls.
(On which point, if there's anybody in the south of England who does have a training-suitable taildragger they'd be interested in leasing me by the hour for occasional instructing purposes, I'd love to hear from them.)
