I am always perplexed by the warnings about tail draggers. My first td was a Sweet Stick I converted thirty years ago. My experience is I have less trouble with the ground handling of a td compared to a trike.

Cross wind, no wind, any wind. Pavement, grass or dirt. Steerable tailwheel, non steerable tail wheel, or skid I'll take the ground handling of a tail dragger over a nose wheel any day.

I think that too many guys are afraid to try tail draggers because of the "becareful how you fly them" talk at the field or on boards like these. When a guy does try a tail dragger he is so "tensed-up" with all the talk that he can't think.

You ain't having fun till you're dragging yer arse down the runway.
