Default question on student taxi practice

wrote in message
ups.com...
I'm still waiting for my first lesson to start, but know from my
instructor that I will be taxiing until I get that under control. I
will be flying from a rural uncontrolled airport. It'll be in my own
aircraft, a Luscombe 8A. It's apparently very important to have the
brakes and ground steering under control and since it's my aircraft,
not very expensive.

Well, you do have an advantage here. By starting out in a taildragger, you
won't have to unlearn the wrong reflexes (subconsciously relaxing after
touchdown) that you tend to pick up if you start out with a nosewheel
