That is exactly what Troy Petteway told me before I started flying mine, and he's owned and flown them all, and has a gazillion hours of taildragger time (not to mention Citation Bizjet and King Air time). Then he flew mine on the first flight and declared that mine was the best ground handling taildragger KR he'd ever flown, and that "any idiot" could fly mine with no problem, to which I attribute my great success. Mine is different only in that my main gear is pretty wide stance at 8' (despite the Diehl gear instructions), perfectly aligned, and my tailwheel is hung pretty far back too. The ground handling difficulties that I hear people complain about are pretty much a mystery to me, as I've never experienced them! I am looking forward to flying Jones' KR though, as that'll make me a little smarter on what I'm missing...
