I chose a Champ for my tailwheel training because I did not think I

the visiblity from the Champ from being in the front seat. I figured while
you are learning, seeing may actually be a pretty important thing!

Depends, somewhat, on the ultimate objective. I preferred getting my TD
endorsement in the Cub BECAUSE you flew from the back and visibility is
limited. But this is because I intend to work my way up to other Warbirds,
like the Mustang (FUDH) and others, where the visibilty up front isn't so
hot.

But if Big Schnozz flying isn't the objective, then maybe it doesn't
matter.
