RC,
I suggest you get more Tail Wheel time before making that
decision. I received my TW endorsement which is a lot like your
certification... a license to learn to fly. The TW endorsement for most
people is not comprehensive enough to tell MOST people if they will like
flying a TW everyday and in all flying conditions. I personally received
excellent TW instruction before transitioning to my RV-4. After many
hours I decided that the TW was not for me as I really prefer the A
models. I sold my 4 and purchased a 6A and LOVE that decision. Now I
don't want to start a TW/Nose Wheel war as this is a personal decision
but I find the Vans A models absolutely the easiest planes to land "like
butter"... almost every time and in almost all conditions. Part of my
choice had to do with a regular commute that has me flying into a
commercial airport. My first flying out of that place the lineup was
737, 737, RV-4, G550 and no the tower did not warn the G550 of wake
turbulence. As there is a small possibility of a ground loop (even
without damage) I did not want to be the one to close down the active
runway even for a few minutes diverting commercial traffic.
I am sure you will enjoy whatever choice you make and it is your
plane and your dream I was just providing a personal data point.
