I'm currently in the closing processes on an aircraft I'm purchasing which happens to be a Cessna 140 that I'm excited about. It will be used for time building and training individuals for tailwheel / private if interested.

For the first month or two I'll be flying it a lot for familiarity and should be at 60-80 hours of time in type after that timeframe.

Just wondering from the vast experience that passes through this forum section in particular, if there was any pieces of advice or reports on the aircraft performance landing, takeoff, or nuances of this taildragger type.

I've been reading a lot for my new venture, The Compleat Taildragger Pilot by Harvey Plourde has been an extremely informative guide. I will be flying with another instructor about 20 hours of familiarity and teaching techniques as I transition into this type of flying and instruction.

Finally any advice on general maintenance to the type would be appreciated as well if you have any.
