I found the 7EC4 Citabria close. Try Twitchells, it's mainly a seaplane place
but I have seen lots of taildraggers there. Also Pitsfield, ME. The only
"school" that I know that has one is Nashua, NH.

DJ, yes if you go at it that way.getting a new rating, but not simply an
endorsement, complies with the requirements for the BFR. Always a good thing,
in my opinion to add new ratings, thus new flying skills to one's repertoire.
As Oscar said, each 150/152 is going to be somewhat differen

Hi Dana,
I agree. My thinking is that what I'd be getting out of the BFR is
learning a new skill, flying a taildragger airplane. For my last BF
I have flown a vairety of taildraggers, but have not logged a lot of
time overall in them, due to thier not being as readily available as
try-cycle planes at clubs and fbo's. That being said, I would
reccommend trying out several different birds, if you can find them.
It's been my experience that
Absolutely, YMMV:-)
My thinking with a BFR is get something out of it rather than just get a pencil
log book entry. Let the instructor have you short field land it, no flap
landing, pull the power on you, soft field land itget something out of the
instructor time, use him. If one is try
Well, I guess the old saying "your results may vary" applies to flying the
Texas Taildragger conversion of the Cessna 150/152. It's been a few years
since I flew that one and Dana's comments don't jibe with my experience flying
a C150/150 but then again it's because it was a 150 and not a 152,

Dan, although I agree the tail wheel time in a converted C152 will be similar
to a KR, I believe he was looking simply for tail wheel time to, as he said,
"see what it is like". I flew in a converted 150 last week and it was flat out
squirely. I would recommend one spend more than one hour g
It won't be at all similar. I got a little stick time in an RV and it was
similar. I believe that all that you will accomplish by getting time in the
152, will be to convince you that you must convert it to a nose wheel.
If you do buy the plane and want to convert it to a nose wheel, which I am

I was in the same place you find yourself when I first began looking

For a start they fly absolutely the same, (I have flown both), once
you are airborne there is no differ
