I'm currently building a CabinEagle. This is a tailwheel aircraft. I have no tailwheel experience.
A friend with a kitfox is showing me the techniques for tailwheel aircraft.

I have a stick and rudder setup on my PC that I use with Condor (for glider simulation).
I was wondering if I would learn anything useful using a simulator like Microsoft Flight Simulator so that I dont embarrase myself too much trying to taxi his airplane.

Does anyone have experience using a flight simulator to learn controlling a tailwheel airplane? Is it realistic?

Thanks...Paul
