Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Zor I'm not just making you talk and don't want start a big argument I am just trying to understand what you are saying is all. I have found that x-wind landings are usually easier mastered in a tricycle gear plane then after the pilot masters his/her skills landing in such aircraft and conditions then the taildragger transition is started if the pilot has a need to fly such aircraft. Obviously most RC pilots end up flying taildraggers due to all the cool planes but a lot of full scale pilots usually don't find themselves operating taildraggers for a living or for fun these days due to the cost and etc. Most flying jobs are to fly corporate aircraft, airliners, charter operations, and flight instruct which 90 percent of those planes are tricycle gear type planes. I am fortunate to get to fly a taildragger for a living, well not right now but thats a long story and to keep it short I'll be back flying our 802 this fall or next spring. So, I'm one of the lucky guys to get to fly that type of equipment.
