Huh. I am coming up on my first solo in the Citabria I am training
in. The club I am with (West Valley Flying Club, wvfc.org) has a few
of them, all used for primary training.

I have heard that larger clubs have much less trouble insuring
taildraggers, since they tend to have more experienced taildragger
instructors to go with them. (But what do I know, I am just a
pre-solo newbie.)
