Tailwheels are very good indeed - for those skygods that can master them. Which was all the purpose for creating this thread, I reckon.
The purpose of creating the thread was to generate discussion - which it has done. I was interested to find out why, when a club has such an experience available, why so few pilots want to try it. There is an aircraft available, for the same cost as the PA28 which requires a slightly different set of skills, can fly aerobatics and spin. Yet, only a few people feel the need to try it. I can appreciate that some pilots just don't want to fly aerobatics, but just to experience a different form of aviation will probably make you a better pilot, even if flown for only a few hours.
