tail dragger difficulty?
I guess that the answer is "it varies". The question is, coming from a nose dragger which one is very familiar with, how challenging will a conversion to the tail dragger version of the same be? Oh and I am quite able to dance on the on the pedals, a skill I learned when I got an R22 licence (now lapsed). In my case, the aircraft is a Rans S6 microlight. Is this a benign tail dragger type?
A chap I know bought a tail dragger, as his first aircraft, after training on nose wheel types, all different to his own. After much ringing around he was not able to find a microlight instructor with a tail wheel qualification and aircraft or an instructor prepared to travel to him and train him in his own aircraft. After much delay and some thought he eventually converted himself. Probably not to be recommended but needs must. In the end it was a non event, perhaps his aircraft is not too twitchy.
