No, but my insurance company does and I get a bill from them every year for owning a taildragger!

Give them a call and ask about taildraggers...

Buzzsaw,

I definitely agree with those guys on the T-6. That is the loopiest taildragger I have ever flown. It is a great advanced trainer as there is no forgiveness anywhere in it.

If you can master the T-6, you can fly anything with a tailwheel.

All the best,

That too....

Oleg gave the German fighter incredible energy retention, something many the allied planes fall short on. Me thinks fromt he sound of the report, like whent he pilot talks about the wingovers, that the plane did find a stall speed faster witht he prop not adjusted properly. To me that would indicate less engery retention than the BF109 has in Il-2.
