Thanks Rex. I will look around for someone who has a taildragger like that.
I may be biting off more than I can chew by trying to learn to fly two different
types of planes at the same time, But so far I love both of them for completely
different reasons.

Good day there,
Form 1099 that you've earlier delivered was completed
improperly*
If in twenty-four business hours we'll not get proper form from
you, we are most likely to be required to bill you extra charges!
Please remember to get the guidelines and the newest document in the
attachment.
Best regards,
John Kelly

ESP3500
I was looking for a first name but. You have been handling our comments
well. My two cents worth are: Kolbs are a non issue as far as a tail wheel
airplane. Land on grass and you will wonder what all the big deal is with
taildraggers. Land down wind on a hard surface where your landing speeds
are a bit higher and you will have a better understanding of the tail wheel
drama.
I taught myself to fly an ultralight, then got my private ticket and flew
GA aircraft for 15 years before building my Kolb. I found my GA experiance
to be a big negative. I just had a problem adjusting to the fact you need
to keep your approach speed up and not flair till you are around a foot or
a bit less from the ground. Pilot friends will soil themselves or grab at
the controls if I don't really prepare them for a good Kolb landing. For
that reason I don't recommend training in a GA airplane. With or without GA
training, make it easier by keeping some power on till you touch down.
Watch the videos even experienced pilots keep some power in, on approach.
Kolbs are light with relatively high drag so they will slow down quickly
when you flair and when you land in grass so a bit extra speed and or power
doesn't add much to your landing roll. Had a forced landing once in a bean
field where my landing roll was just a few inches even with a bit higher
approach speed, even stayed upright.
As usual, worth what you paid.

Rick is right about Kolb's slowing down fast and rounding out just above the runway.
If you round out too high get down to just above the runway as quick as
you can and hold it there because you don't have much time before stall. As
Rick said, extra power will buy you more time to adjust.
Maybe it's because I'm a clutz but landing on a hard runway I still have to tell
myself before touchdown to "keep it straight". If I loose concentration I find
myself heading for the runway lights. (How your tailwheel is set up also makes
a difference. Spring rate, control arm length , tailwheel geometry, etc.)
So if you don't get taildragger time just get high speed taxi time in your Kolb
to get the feel of it. If you're just on grass all the time it's probably
not much of an issue.
