Have fun in a tail dragger. Cub is good and anything with steel legs or over 200 hp is really good. Allways a choice of landing stick forward or back. A real bad landing will not stuff the nose leg through the fire wall but will teach great landings in all especially x/wind

Got a chuckle from SKYVAN's comments. They
don't call it a " one eighty" for nothing!

Just for information:
A tailDRAGGER has a ski in the back (like the Tigermoths and more) but a tailWHEEL is the little wheel in the back. They were also called conventional as opposed to tricycle.

Taildraggers are easy to fly: All you have to do is to keep 'em straight.

If you want to fly fun taildraggers go to www.dawnpatrol.co.uk
they do tailwheel conversions on a Stamp and you also have a go on the Extra 300
