Mont-
I have a 150 with an 0-200 and a 152 with the 0-235 so anything I say about performance would not be particularly relevent to your inquiry. As for handling characteristics, there was a pretty good discussion on the forum last month with most of the TD boys participating. I think you'll get some good first-hand information there.
Bring up the SEARCH and key in "taildragger 101" and "taildragger 102" - that will bring up those discussion threads. If you want to see everything on the forum about taildraggers, and there's a bunch, key in 'taildraggers".
The only 'advice' that I would offer is this: Correct wheel toe-in and camber can make the difference between a sweet, fun flying machine versus a tilt-n-whirl carnival ride
That being said TD's are a HOOT!
Good Luck! Hope you can come across a TD that will make your heart-strings sing!
Oh yeah- My insurance is through Avemco - $1186.00/year. Avemco offers a a discount after 50 hours logged in TD.
