> no > such rule You are correct, at one point there was no such rule. I don't know when the requirement became law, but if you had taildragger time you were grandfathered. I flew mine with no prior TD time and only 60 hours total time. The difficult part is learning to track straight down the runway and lift the tail., Once you are up on the mains, the rudder will steer the plane just like you do when you lift the nose of a 152 early prior to takeoff. landing is the reverse, you can stay on the mains until the tail won't fly any more, then you hold the stack back to pin the tail down and stop, while steering with the tail wheel. I have flown only one other tail wheel aircraft and the principals of lifting the tail ASAP and keeping the tail up until it falls were the same. Other then that the KR is unique in the way it feels.
