Years ago I made a training video for a popular tail dragger covering all techniques including the lion's (or should that be Tiger's) share of the video concentrating on landings.
The club chief pilot, with many many hours under his belt flying all manner of things including Vulcans, kept on and on about how the problems manifest because invariably people learn in a tri and come to tail draggers later - when they got the dosh to splash on a vintage job. He went on to say that if people learned on a tail dragger it would make the conversion to a tri a damn sight easier as the technique is essentially that of a tail-lowish landing in a dragger.

Good to see you Sam.
