Avid flyer
I soloed in the 50's as a 16 year old kid. I was turned loose with a
conventional gear plane with 8 hours and 20 minutes of dual. It can't be too hard--I managed it. :-) Going through my old log books I see very few references to wind or gusty conditions. So I guess all the todo today about "taildraggers" has to do with un-learning all the sloppy habits that tricycle landing gear instills. Sadly I can't afford a Pacer and had to settle for a Tri-Pacer. Insurance woud have been double and this OF needs all the bucks for the gas tank. :-) As a result there are many rough strips that I won't venture into.
