You may be right. OTH there are plenty of tricky taildraggers around. Do you
remember when the Luscombes started to arrive here a few years ago? There was a
quick succession of ground loops etc.

IMHO it's all down to training. I've managed to retrain myself (I could still
come unstuck, I'm sure) but I did have the benefit of Jon Tye and Martin Stoner
to talk to. Tri gear trained pilots will need either good extra training or lots
of reading, armchair flying and luck.
