Default RE: First tail Dragger Experience

shakes,

That's great to hear. Taildraggers are allot of fun, especially when you convert a trike to a taildragger. You will have more tendency to bounce a little when you first start flying them but it will get better. Now the fun begins. Now you can "wheel land" where you land on the mains first and let the tail settle or "3-point" landing where you land with all three wheels at the same time. Harrier type landing where the tail touches first then the mains.

Touch and goes will take on a whole new meaning also.

Enjoy
