My intent with that post was not to degrade pilots that *prefer* flying
tri- gear. Tri-gear are physical easier to fly (only on T.O. &
landing). My point is that a well setup tail wheel airplane can be
safely flown by any "competent" pilot. Have you ever heard that a DC3,
after 80 years in service, is a nasty airplane to fly?
