Some tailwheel questions/comments

Not really, and I'd be surprised if you could taxi a Citabria with the
tailwheel raised anyway. Easy in a cub, though.
The problem with the Citabria is it's a bit too easy for tailwheel
conversion. You'll get the basics, but if you try a cub afterwards you'll
find it significantly more difficult, wheras the other way around would be
a piece of cake. Citabria is a good airplane, but it's not the best
tailwheel trainer for that reason. However, it will certainly do in a
pinch!
That's an interesting comment - I just got my tailwheel endorsement in a Cub
and have flown it another 4 hrs and dozens of landings since.
I plan to transition to a Husky (180 HP CS prop), any comments about what to
expect, relative difficulty, etc?
