I am just starting out and I am researching different trainers. The telemaster senior is a tail dragger and from what I have heard is also and exceptional trainer.
Yes the STM is a taildragger and from what I've heard here, an excellent trainer...
Currently I have a Kadet LT-40. Another great trainer. I built it per spec with a nose wheel.
I too decided I wanted a tail-dragger version of a trainer, so I started building a STM.
One thing I gotta say though... It's a big bird. 8 foot wingspan. And the fuselage is over 4 feet long. Just a fair warning, it'll consume a bunch of space, both in the shop, and in your vehicle to/from the airfield.
I thought I was prepared for the size of this bird. "8 foot wingspan can't be that much bigger than my 6 foot kadet right?" It was still surprising.
Just to give you fair warning....
