RE: What is the difference between tail dragger and three cycle?
You and your plane's rudder are going to become best friends. With a taildragger, rudder control before, during and immediately after takeoff, and the same in reverse for landing, become very important. You'll find your throttle will need to be carefully maniuplated during the takeoff run, in conjunction with the rudder, to keep the plane going straight down the runway. The same is true during landing, you'l need to fly the plane (and by that I mean stay on the controls) right up untill it slows to a stop.
Sounds like a lot of work? It is, but it's very much worth it. And with enough stick time, it will all become second nature. Flying a trike will almost seem like cheating.
