I have been flying a Phaton for the past year- you will like it. actually you will love it!! but as said here you MAY need a bit of tail wheel experience first esp if you are overly nervous about the phaton . its not a hard plane to fly . not that the phaton is hard -id put it at no worse than many other tail wheels & better than a lot of them. make sure your CG is correct. landing is a no brainer & a thing of beauty with that plane . just be sure to have an engine idle low enough as you have gobs of lift . also go to a slightly lower pitch prop than you normally would & possibly 1 inch diameter more. larger rudder just makes it easier to control but also easy to over control. I find it needs some at first but gradually back off almost entirely as speed builds . important to let the tail come up on its own. some times it pays to have a bit of play in the tail wheel vs the rudder as it wil "lag" behind the applied control & be easier to direct. toe in & camber are very helpful on tailwheels.
