Default Taildragger Technique for Gliders

Before Cookie starts, Ill add one, I thought, very insightful lesson I had from a instructor I had when learning tail wheel in a J3 cub. I already had 5k hours in sailplanes at this point and he said: "realize that you have to change from normal control to cross control once on the ground, just like you already do in your sailplane!" That was the ahaaa, moment for me. I had already been doing it in my Ventus now just make it happen in the cub, 140 and now the 170B hardest part is using a yoke instead of a stick Flame shields on!
