My best advice is to find another school that will teach to fly a taildragger. a Drifter is all u need to learn the basic skills. Most students prefer to learn in a tricycle but this is a mistake.
The skills that will keep u alive are being taught less and less because everyone wants to fly the flash plastic, which is not designed for training.
I see it everyday, students being taught to fly GA style, huge circuits well outside glide angle to the strip, using power all the way around, rarely a glide approach or an emergency.
What you learn now will stay with you for life and will determine whether or not you will be a PILOT.
