Is this a showstopper issue.... in terms of high prices for insurance relative to teh same model with nosewheel I mean?
I'm just over 300 hours total time with just over 10 hours conventional gear...but it was all a long time ago and not at all congruent.... I never actually got my endorsement. Most of it was in a Champ 7AC, little bit in cessna 140, and just a tiny bit in both C-120 and an old Decathlon
daydreaming about RV-14, maybe RV-9...but more recently I'm most interested in an RV-15...as a retirement project in a few years time
and in the interim I've been toying with the idea of picking up something like a cessna 140 or a Champ (although I don't have a hangar would hate to park a champ outside) as a cheap way to get something to fly that's economical, not a high value so should be relatively cheap to insure. It would be a great time builder to get back into flying and build tailwheel time.
The most fun I had in all my flying was in that Champ.
