You’re looking as good as the Cub, Jim :-)
A friend and colleague (he was a Tornado navigator and worked for me 20 years
ago) has a PPL and has just converted to tailwheel machines; his conversion
machine was a Piper Cub which must have been quite and experience, coming from
C150s and C172s.
But I was surprised that a conversion course (3 trips, I think) was needed at
all.
