When you and SloDave get some more time under your belt and feel comfortable, come on over to Phoenix and will give you some time in a taildragger. Once you can land a taildragger with some crosswind in the mix, then you can say you are a pilot.
I fly a jet for a living and everyone knows that jet pilots are chit hot right? That 70 year old taildragger will kick my azz most of the time when I first hop in it, especially on landings, until I get current in it again. The old timers say "you fly a tailwheel airplane from the time its untied until its back in the chocks" and they are right.
