tail draggers aren't necessarily hard to handle. some models track very nice and true. the key is take your time during set up it makes all the difference in the world. I have an old great planes P-51 .40 ARF, it tracks very well with just a sight touch of right rudder. I was nervous to maiden it and triple checked everything, the result was a good flying plane. I made the mistake of not being so cautious with my cub that I got off a club member. this plane had been flown before so I thought it would be okay. after numerous crashes on takeoff, I finally checked the CG and it was 4oz tail heavy. I took the time to go through the entire plane and now it flies fine(all tho it takes a lot more finesse on the runway then the mustang). my Sig someting extra is very easy to take off and land. I do find that one thing that is easier with a tail dragger is bleeding off excess speed on landing. the zig zag on the ground can slow a plane quickly, as well as being able to"spin out" and stop it with out the tip factor tricycle gear has.
