I'm currently learning on a taildragger and what they say about take-offs and landings are very true. It takes a lot of rudder control on the ground. when landing I'm using throttle and elevator to get the flare just before touching the ground. Its a BLAST to see one land just right. Got 14 flights with 11 to go before my instructor will let me solo. He's let me land 5 times and luckily my plane (Mustang P-51 PTS) is still in one piece. Good Luck!
