Flying a taildragger is just a matter of training. The "older" aircraft you are

With the various comments on proping a VW I notice no one suggested proping
from behind the prop. That's a pretty natural way to hand prop a VW. It also
places you up against the wing leading edge and should put you in closer
proximity to the throttle and mag switches if needed. That's how I always
