Just to post an alternative view, I bought a Taylor Mono late last year and, after completing a tailwheel course at Clacton on a Super Cub, first flew it in April this year. I've relatively low hours having trained on Piper Cherokees followed by flying a Bulldog. Since April I've accumulated about 20 hours on the mono.


It is certainly true that you need to develop the stick and rudder skills which may be lacking at the moment, but with the right approach and willingness to wait for the right conditions the rewards of a small single seat taildragger as great! I'm still building up my skills and confidence (but then don't we always!) but would actually say it's a great way to learn. Just approach it with care and seek advice from those experienced tailwheel pilots who are still around.
