|
I earned my taildragger endorsement in a conventional gear Cessna 150. I transitioned to my Kitfox that I built with no additional training, just a lot of reading. It wasn't too pretty at first, but with a little advice from some of you guys, it looks a lot better now. I am almost finished with a Wagabond which started out life as a Pacer. It will handle like a Pacer with a stick instead of a yoke. The question is "Will the Pacer be more difficult or less difficult than the Kitfox to handle on the ground. I know the mains are further apart and the length from the mains to the tailwheel is longer so those are positive for easier handling. On the downside, the Pacer will be on the ground longer than the Kitfox due to primarily weight and design.
