I was going to spend = $30k on a taildragger.

Your realistic options, if you want to stick to metal (and lacking a
hangar, I certainly would) are a C-120 or C-140 (many are now
all-metal), a Luscombe, a metallized short wing Piper (Pacer, Clipper,
etc - there are a few out there), and the oddball conversions. There
are C-150's and Yankees converted to tailwheel. There are also some
experimental options.

Other than just flying around (which all of them will do) what is your
actual mission profile?

Rough/short strips? Long trips? What made you choose the Texas
Taildragger to begin with?

Michael
