Hi Vaughn, 100% of US pilots learned in taildraggers years ago.. It is NOT that difficult to land one, just different than a tri-gear.. You can't "go to sleep on the pedals" like you can landing a tri-gear. Stay ahead of the plane and you won't have any problems. I also suggest you put a "subject" in the subject line of your posts. I found your email in "spam".. Ron

There has been a bit of diiscussion about landing taildraggers on here,is it that difficult? how do they compare to trigears? As an inexperienced pilot ,have I bitten off more than I can chew? I have always liked the clean low wing design & the KR construction method, but are high speed planes a bit much to start out in. I have significantly increased the tail areas to give more stability, & plan on longer wings. Would I be better to put the KR on hold & go to a STOL type (Roger Mann Storch?) to gain initial experience? A lot of the componentry can be used on a 2nd project. Any thoughts appreciated.
