Super Cub would be the aeroplane I've flown that is about the most forgiving.

Aeronca 11AC Chief is about the least forgiving, very very easy to groundloop, along with a tendency to pitch PIO on take-off.

The Auster could be an absolute pig, This was partly because the landing attitude AoA was still within the flying envelope and any bounce would produce a "balloon"

In my opinion, this is because too many pilots fly the Auster approach at least 10mph faster than recommended by the pilots notes. At the right speed, it really doesn't.
