Default RE: Recomend a first tail dragger

Just for the record, LANDING a tail dragger is no big deal. Your only concern is avoiding a nose-over.

It's the take off that's tricky because your tail is up, so you have no "Wheel-to-ground" contact to help the plane counteract the torque of the engine (Which is minimal on landing due to the low RPM)
