Taildraggers rule

Taildraggers are a great way to sharpen skills. 
They are not as forgiving as tricycle so  be vigilant!

biggest thing for me to get used to was adding throttle after touchdown. Seems counterintuitive after all the time in a Mooney, but will save your bacon, and spare you a ground loop!  
killer plane.
Is that a carbon cub?

btw. That is a different tail#.  NX909HH?
is that how they number experimentals?

Looks like a normal N number to me. The photo shows N10WY, a nice 4-letter number. A friend used to fly N2HJ, and periodically ATC would ask for "your complete N number," which it was.

That’s a fun ship, just make sure you do those tundras and suspension proud out there

Most experimental have "normal' tail numbers. NX is allowed once the design is over a certain age (30 years?); when an airplane uses NX, the word experimental can be removed IIRC.
