I am surprised by the comments in this thread. I've recently done some tailwheel training in Citabria, and honestly, I hated that thing. After 1000+ hours of flying a Bonanza that handles like a Ferrari, Citabria feels like a lumbering old truck. It climbs like a pig, controls are heavy and imprecise, seating uncomfortable, visibility awful. Are there any better aircraft for tailwheel training?
Any Cessna tailwheel ought to do the trick. Unfortunately the trainers today are all Citabria or some sort of Cub. Decent airplanes, but not as responsive as the Cessnas. Very forgiving particularly the Citabria family.
