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.
Be careful what you wish for, it may be more than your favorite aircraft can handle:

Also, a PPL friend was/is in a similar situation: badly bitten by the tailwheel bug and delighted to have the opportunity to be one of very few to regularly fly a Cub. Then another not-so-regular user recently had a groundloop and scraped a wingtip (no real harm done though, apparently).
