I am having difficulty discerning whether C J is really indignint about
this issue, or he is just baiting us for more so that others may learn.

Let's look at another aspect...
The taildragger (regardless of make/model) requires that the pilot
raise the nose to land (only slightly for wheel landings).


Yes, and so does a tricycle gear. Ever heard of ground loops and nose-overs?
I suppose those never happened when everyone learned in tail-draggers.

It's about proper piloting technique, it has nothing to do with ego.


So what equipment is used has noting to do with it, it's how it's taught? So
what's all the blather about requiring tail-dragger instruction?


(Although, the theory that it makes women's boobs bigger has marketing
potential. ;-))


I think the "ego" problem here is someone inserted their foot in their mouth
and is now trying to justify himself.
