There are basics to tailwheel airplane operation that are common to all conventional geared planes. Get the basics nailed down and you can fly just about anything safely. Dancing on the rudder pedals, keeping the stick back on the ground, looking ahead for the straight line reference, speed control on final, using brakes only for the runup and never stop maintaining positive rudder control until the plane is in the hangar are a few of the good habits to cultivate. I have over four thousand hours of tailwheel airplanes in DC-3s, L-18 and L-12 Loadstars, D-18s, Pitts Skybolts and most GA airplanes. The basics apply to all of them. I flew with Dick Fischer here at SMX in a Taylorcraft L-2 for tailwheel currency prior to first flight in our C-150TD, and it prepared me quite well. The only difference was the landing attitude, something you can get by sitting in your airplane. You should poll some the other 150TD owners on the forum, they helped me with the transition from a nose wheel eqipped 150 to landing the same plane converted to tailwheel.
