(quote from majortom)..."Finally, as you get into the more advanced models, they are mostly taildraggers and you have to learn how to handle them sooner or later if you want to progress beyond the simple stuff".(end quote) This is the main reason I converted my Hobbico SuperStar 40 to a tail dragger. I was stepping up to a 1/4 scale Spacewalker. I have no flying experience with a Cub....but from all I have read, they are not easy to control on the ground compared to other tail draggers By the way...MY take offs with my trike was always good for a chuckle at our club. Maybe it was just something that worked for me, but there was a minimum of problems with ground handling after the conversion. (Even with my LG axles at least an inch forward of the LE of wing.) I did rig a steerable tail wheel too.
Happy landings..... lownslo
