I'm mostly a C172SP renter and I'm interested in switching it up as I find myself doing a lot of the same these days. I see there's a Citabria 7ECA near me for a reasonable rental fee. My total tailwheel experience is a single flight in a decathalon once (taxi, take off, no landing) a few years back.
I'm interested in hearing people's experience in either that aircraft and/or thoughts on whether there's any value in getting the tailwheel time (aside from just satisfaction of doing it). I've heard of some trickiness in handling on the ground and I've experienced the differences in the take off/landing stick action vs. conventional gear, but that's about it.
