Well done. That's the value of clubs - a group of experience that'll pick the small issues that make it harder than it needs to be. Re taildraggers vs trikes... trikes are easier to learn take-offs than draggers as you don't also need to learn to "fly the tail" before you rotate the plane, however it sounds like you're well on the way to not needing a trike now so don't bother. I'd stay away from warbirds till you have some more flight time under your belt - they always have a higher wing loading which makes them a lot more "twitchy" and prone to violent stalling at low speeds. I've been flying for three years now and I'm only now building my first warbird (an F4U corsair).
