I agree with Jeff. I was fortunate to have access to a Citabria to get a bunch of taildragger landings in and learn to stay on my toes while the wheels are spinning. The KR handles on the ground a lot better than the old high wingers, so transitioning to the KR was a non issue. Within a few weeks of my first flight, I received some dual from Robert Pezak to get the KR feel while airborn. So, back home during a high speed taxi (4000 ft turf runway), I just kept the throttle in and pulled back a bit and off we went. That first landing was better than some of my current landings. And yes, the KR grin was there

To start with, you're drawing a comparison of two different arguments. One about learning to fly a tailwheel aircraft and the other is learning to fly an aircraft with very light controls. Those are two completely different things. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/.
